Gemini VIII

Today in 1966 Gemini VIII launched with pilot David Scott and command pilot Neil Armstrong, and rendezvoused with the Agena Target Vehicle 4 hours after launch. Here are some images from the archives as they approached and docked. On a side note it was the 40th anniversary of Dr. Robert Goddard’s world first liquid fueled rocket launch. #nasa #geminiviii #agenatargetvehicle #aviationsafari #aviationpreservation #boneyardsafari
