Two boys set 25 hour space capsule flight in Middletown
David Levine Wayne Kassel and ground crew of two boys and parents staged a simulated space mission at Memorial and Linden Avenue Schools. The Jr Gemini II capsule, built from plywood, ran 25 hours with sleep, meals, and logs in red and black ink. Ground control tracked positions and played radio music while a minor comic book snag and a radio delay were quickly fixed. The feat honors youthful initiative and ends with the line five by five signaling clear reception.
