Behind them was by far the longest space flight made by anyone. They accomplished their prime mission-proving that man can live and work in space for the amount of time that it would take to journey to the moon and back. During 190½ hours in orbit, they made 120 revolutions around the earth, seeing 120 sunrises and sunsets, and traveled 3,300,000 miles. More important than those records, which would surely be broken by the Gemini 7 flight early next year, were the significant achievements of the voyage. Said Flight Director Chris Kraft: "We have learned...
...several scores: nine manned space flights to the Russians' eight, a total of 642 man-hours in space to the Russians' 507, 120 revolutions on a single trip to the Russians' 81. Gemini 5 was a crucial stage in the buildup for man's journey beyond the earth orbit. With each mission, the goals became grander.

The issue could approach the status of Motherhood as something a politician had better be in favor...
Twenty years ago, over an arid stretch of New Mexican sand that the Spaniards called Jornada del Muerto (Journey of Death), history's first atomic bomb blasted the dawn. This is the sometimes chilling story of that still chilling event. The author, a correspondent in TIME'S Washington bureau, has done a painstakingly thorough job of reporting that makes that lurid moment seem to have happened only yesterday...
