They suggested that he launch a primary campaign to knock off Republican Moderate Tom Kuchel in 1962. Reagan said no but then backed Right-Winger Wright. He also turned down a suggestion that he take on Pat Brown for Governor that year. "I said that I would do everything short of running, that I would be a Paul Revere for other people."

Within 94 minutes after their launch from Cape Kennedy, while they were still on their first orbit, Conrad and Gordon rendezvoused and docked with an Agena target vehicle that had been blasted into orbit only a few hours earlier. It was the first successful space link-up accomplished so soon after launch, and it simulated a vital step in the Apollo moon mission. After exploring the surface of the moon, Apollo astronauts will have to blast off in their little...
