00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,374
Remembering Michael Collins 1930 - 2021

00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,432
Pilot

3
00:00:07,432 --> 00:00:10,583
Spacewalker

4
00:00:10,583 --> 00:00:13,556
Explorer

5
00:00:13,556 --> 00:00:16,721
Gemini was a vital gap --a bridge, a link ...

6
00:00:16,721 --> 00:00:20,633
between Mercury and between Apollo

7
00:00:20,633 --> 00:00:24,815
so Gemini's primary job was to

8
00:00:24,815 --> 00:00:31,155
work out all the technical details to bring two spacecraft together in Earth orbit

9
00:00:31,155 --> 00:00:37,319
and then to keep two people in Earth orbit for 14 days.

10
00:00:37,319 --> 00:00:45,459
The spacewalks of Project Gemini were needed to prove everything would be okay on the surface of the Moon.

11
00:00:45,660 --> 00:00:50,474
The prime crew now departing from their crew quarters here at the Kennedy Space Center

12
00:00:50,474 --> 00:00:55,000
Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and then finally Mike Collins

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,560
Mission Control: Columbia, this is Houston, AOS, over

14
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,892
Collins: Houston, Columbia, on the high-gain, over

15
00:01:00,892 --> 00:01:03,714
Mission Control: Roger, the EVA is progressing beautifully.

16
00:01:03,714 --> 00:01:07,902
I guess you're about the only person around that doesn't have TV coverage of the scene.

17
00:01:07,902 --> 00:01:10,308
Collins: That's alright. I don't mind a bit.

18
00:01:10,534 --> 00:01:14,319
50-60 years from now, I think we'll be doing

19
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:20,965
amazing things that we're not able to predict with any accuracy whatsoever today.

20
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:23,097
People have this curiosity.

21
00:01:23,097 --> 00:01:25,065
They want to know about the universe.

22
00:01:25,065 --> 00:01:27,281
They want to know more about how it works -
