Gemini 8 mission ends after short circuit crisis
Cape Kennedy reports NASA traced the failure to a short circuit in Gemini 8's thruster No 8. Armstrong and Scott debriefed before flying home to reunite with families, after the first in space emergency landing. The Agena linkup preceded a violent gyration that Armstrong managed to halt using emergency thrusters. About 200 pounds of fuel spilled into space during an 18 minute period as the craft spun and was stabilized.
