Description:
On April 8, 1964, NASA launched the first uncrewed test flight of the new Gemini spacecraft. <br/><br/>This was the very first mission of Project Gemini, which would later send crews of two into orbit. NASA flew a total of 12 Gemini missions, 10 of which had crews on board. For this first mission, NASA was testing the structural integrity of the crew capsule and the rocket. The launch vehicle was a modified version of the U.S. Air Force's intercontinental ballistic missile Titan II. Known as the Titan II GLV, this rocket had never flown before. No major malfunctions occurred during the flight. The rocket actually overperformed and put the spacecraft into a slightly higher orbit than NASA had planned.

Walz is concerned about the effects on transportation access if Ube and Lyft leave the metro area of 3 million people. He advocated for a resolution through compromise with the Minneapolis City Council, rather than state legislative intervention, as the most effective approach to address the issue.")

NASA now uses a whole fleet of these satellites to relay communications between spacecraft in orbit and ground stations down on Earth. NASA astronauts Don Peterson and Story Musgrave spent 4 hours and 17 minutes working in the vacuum of space while doinga series of tests in the shuttle's payload bay. This was also the first time that NASA's Extravehicular Mobility Unit was worn by astronauts in space.")
