Geocache Description:


Gemini VIII was the sixth manned spaceflight in NASA's Gemini program. Command pilot Neil Armstrong's flight marked the second time a U.S. civilian flew into space (Joseph Albert Walker became the first US civilian on X-15 Flight 90). The mission conducted the first docking of two spacecraft in orbit, but suffered the first critical in-space system failure of a U.S. spacecraft which threatened the lives of the astronauts and required immediate abort of the mission. The crew was returned to earth safely. The only other time this happened was on the flight of Apollo 13.

My wife and I enjoy walking these nice sidewalks near our neighborhood. This is #8 of the Space Race series. I recommend parking on Veterans Pkwy just north of the Freedom 7 cache.
