00:00:51,330 --> 00:00:48,040

00:02:53,330 --> 00:02:48,450
the Apollo spacecraft also underwent

00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:53,340
rigorous testing paving the way for the

flights to the moon astronauts Virgil

61
00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:57,240
Grissom and John Young proved Gemini

62
00:03:01,130 --> 00:02:59,280

minute walk in space Gordon Cooper and

69
00:03:19,070 --> 00:03:16,530
Charles Conrad demonstrated that an

eight-day lunar mission is feasible they

71
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:21,120

79
00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:44,150
one meaningful to future manned flights

85
00:04:01,220 --> 00:03:58,860
with Gemini 7 a rendezvous in which the
