Not just a scaled-up Mercury capsule, the Gemini spacecraft is a ship for astronauts to fly
By Wesley S. Griswold
WITHIN the next few months, for the first time in our space program, two U.S. astronauts are expected to go into orbit together.

DURING the years before Sputnik, several writers, including myself, predicted that one of the first objectives of manned space flight would be to establish one or more orbiting space stations.
Today we're busy building rockets and spacecraft to take men to the moon. We have been fabulously successful with Project Mercury, and our Saturn I rockets have shown that they can reliably haul more than 10 tons of payload into orbit. Yet little is heard of manned space stations. Why is that so?

Skaters’ pusher: all play, no work The rear skater in the quintet at right furnishes locomotion —the others just go along for the ride.
