Gemini 4 ends long mission as crew returns to Houston
Astronauts James McDivitt and Ed White land in Houston after a 1.7 million mile space flight aboard Gemini 4. They enjoy a real meal, repair the capsule, and plan postflight debriefings with technicians and scientists. Debris and oxygen issues forced an offhand ballistic reentry and a less than perfect mission.

Astronaut joins Sea Lab II aquanauts near San Diego
Astronaut Scott Carpenter will join aquanauts aboard Sea Lab II for a 30 day undersea test near La Jolla California. Two crewmen will remain aboard the pressurized vessel for 15 days while divers work outside in suits for two one hour periods daily. If successful, deeper trials to 400 and beyond may follow to assess human ability at extreme depths and enhance submarine rescue possibilities.
