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.

Simultaneously, Hamas terrorists in Gaza fired thousands of rockets toward Israel.<br/><br/>Some 1,500 terrorists successfully broke through the fence in vehicles and by foot. Some used motorized paragliders to fly over the fence, and others attempted to invade through the sea, aiming for Israel’s Zikim Beach.<br/><br/>The terrorists split up and made their way to a number of Israeli towns and IDF bases surrounding Gaza. That is when the massacre began. They invaded the towns, shooting everything in sight. They broke into civilian homes, shooting, burning, raping and beheading. Over 1,300 civilians were murdered, and over 200 were abducted. Hamas terrorists briefly took control of about 10 Israeli towns, terrorizing and brutalizing their residents.")
