Geocache Description:


Gemini 3 was the first manned Gemini flight, and the final manned flight controlled from Cape Canaveral. The mission's launch date was March 23, 1965. The mission's primary goal was to test the new, maneuverable Gemini spacecraft. In space, the crew fired thrusters to change the shape of their orbit, shift their orbital plane slightly, and drop to a lower altitude. Other firsts were achieved on Gemini 3: two people flew aboard an American spacecraft (the Soviet Union launched a three-man crew on Voskhod 1 in 1964 and a two-man crew just a few days earlier on Voskhod 2, upstaging the two-man Gemini and three-man Apollo programs), and the first manned reentry where the spacecraft was able to produce lift to change its touchdown point.

My wife and I enjoy walking these nice sidewalks near our neighborhood. This is #4 of the Space Race series. I recommend parking on Veterans Pkwy just north of the Freedom 7 cache.
