Views from within Gemini spacecraft practicing docking maneuvers in space.

Views of Earth from NASA Gemini 7 spacecraft, as it moves in formation with the spent 2nd stage of its Titan II launch rocket. Glimpse of astronaut in capsule, as it moves over an ocean on earth. Gemini 6 approaching within 1 foot of Gemini 7, accomplishing the first rendezvous of manned vehicles in space. Narrator states that Astronaut Frank F. Borman, II, On Gemini 7, prepares to photograph Gemini 6. In change of sequence, the unmanned Agena space vehicle, is seen as Gemini 8 docks with it in a practice maneuver. But a failed thruster on Gemini 8 causes too much yaw and roll, so Command Pilot Neil Armstrong undocks. Gemini 8 rolling at an excess rate of 1 revolution per second, which Astronaut Armstrong had to struggle to overcome before completing the mission.

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.

German rocket physicist Wernher Von Braun lectures at press conference about space launch vehicles

German rocket physicist Wernher Von Braun gives recorded and broadcast lecture about Space Launch vehicles. He sits at a table containing models, including one of the Juno II space launch vehicle. Speaking in German, he addresses an audience, discussing capabilities of the Juno 2 vehicle and requirements for achieving escape velocity and other facets of space flight. He refers to the Explorer I satellite in his remarks. After Dr. Braun completes his comments, he stands and leaves, revealing a chart illustrating the ideas of his talk. Also seen is a blackboard listing velocities that have already been achieved by rockets and noting the escape velocity needed to achieve earth orbit. These blackboard notes are all written in English. German scientist, Albert Zeiler, is seen momentarily at a seat in front of the blackboard.
