NASA Gemini spacecraft practicing docking and maneuvering with Agena vehicle.

A NASA backup Agena unmanned target vehicle, launched as a docking target for Gemini 9, is orbiting with a shroud still attached. Astronauts call it "the angry alligator." Brief closeup of the vehicle. Views from Gemini IX as it practices maneuvering close to the "angry alligator." Change of sequence shows another Agena target vehicle in orbit above an ocean on earth. A Gemini spacecraft docks to form a compound craft with the Agena, and its astronauts then command the Agena to start its rocket engine. Glow is seen from the rocket engine firing. Beautiful views of the Blue Planet, Earth, from a combined Gemini and Agena vehicle in orbit at 850 miles distance.

Views of Planet Earth taken from earth orbit. NASA Gemini spacecraft maneuvering and Astronauts working outside them.

Views from NASA Gemini spacecraft maneuvering close to Agena vehicle in space. A dacron tether attaching a Gemini craft to the Agena space vehicle. The tether held taut by the differential gravitational pull on the two space vehicles (Agena being closer to earth). Astronaut Ed White, performing the first extra vehicular activity (space walk) during the Gemini IV mission in June 1965. His overglove is seen floating past him. He performs work in space using special tools. Views of other astronauts having difficulties during subsequent space walks. Astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, pilot of Gemini XII, performs a series of tasks during a space walk test, proving the value of rest breaks, tethers, and handholds to facilitate such work in the weightlessness of space. He removes a hatch, that flies away. He tightens bolts.

Historic aviation scenes. Wright Brothers; Louis Bleriot; Theodore Roosevelt; Seaplane; biplane crash

Views of various historic early aircraft. The wright Brothers, assisted by ground crewmen, prepare a Wright Flyer for takeoff. The aircraft is placed into position on a catapult track. Men turn the propellers, and the engine is started. A large weight is dropped from a tower to provide thrust to the catapult, and the aircraft takes off and makes a low pass over the field. An early Bleriot flying machine, with box kite characteristics, takes off and flies over a field. A U.S. Army officer walks past two men working on a Wright Flyer (Wright Brother?). A Wright Flyer takes off and flies over a field. Theodore Roosevelt steps from a Wright plane after flying with Archibald Hoxsey at an airshow at Kinloch Field in St. Louis, Missouri on October 11, 1910. Roosevelt shakes hands with a man as several officials stand nearby. Views of two early airplanes in flight. Louis Bleriot in cockpit of his airplane, turns propeller by hand. The Bleriot XI airplane under full power, held back by ground helpers, and then let go for take off. An early monoplane in flight. An early airplane maneuvers and turns. An early seaplane lands on a body of water. A biplane plunging to earth and crashing.
