...event on television this week, if all goes as planned, is the Gemini-Titan 4 space shot scheduled to blast off from Cape Kennedy Thursday at 9 a.m °All three networks plan extensive coverage of the launch (which NBC will broadcast in live color), frequent reports from the space craft during the 63-orbit, four-day flight, a generous assortment of specials and summaries and even an attempt to have a pool reporter with audio gear aboard one of the recovery helicopters.

...Foolish!" barked NASA Manned-Flight Director Robert Gilruth. "I think maybe this will not happen again." Growled NASA Director James Webb, "This was not an adequate performance by an astronaut." Gemini Pilots Virgil Grissom, 38, and John Young, 34, were on the carpet for something they did on their recent three-orbit mission. Gilruth and Webb told a congressional committee that the corned-beef-on-rye sandwich Young smuggled into their Molly Brown capsule and fed Grissom instead of the scientifically prepared flight diet was strictly unprogrammed. Mincing no words, the administrators decreed that henceforth "corned-beef-sandwich incidents" will...
What went wrong last month when the Gemini capsule Molly Brown splashed into the Atlantic 60 miles short of its scheduled landing spot? Last week NASA's Dr. Homer Dotts firmly dispelled all rumors of a possible goof by Astronauts Gus Grissom and John Young. According to Dr. Dotts, the capsule did not develop as much lift during re-entry as had been predicted from preflight wind-tunnel tests. With less gliding ability, the capsule plunged earthward on a steep trajectory that aimed her short of the target. By the time Grissom had calculated the trajectory on his computer...

But he was obviously going places, and so Andrea Kline, a Queens teen, picked Astronaut Gus Grissom, 39, for her private hero four years ago, sent him letters and gifts and kept hoping that one day . . . Now Gus and John Young were safely down from their Gemini voyage into space, and in Manhattan for the parades and banquets. Into the Waldorf-Astoria marched Andrea, and ran right up to the dais, where she handed the startled Grissom a pair of square Florentine cuff links and a tie clasp, then burst into tears. No emergency procedures...
