His adversary is a German, Hardy Kruger, a small humorless cipher whose knowledge of aerodynamics puts everyone's fate in his hands, and well he knows it.

If the necessary modifications of the backfiring Agena cannot be made in time, NASA will use a hastily contrived "Augmented Target Docking Adapter." One way or another, Gemini 8 will have a target vehicle...
