Costly Rendezvous. Eager to proceed with the planned docking of Gemini and ATDA, Stafford quickly suggested a solution: to nudge the obstructing shroud out of the way by flying up and hitting it gently with Gemini's docking bar. Safety-conscious controllers in Houston vetoed the scheme, instead electronically commanded ATDA's movable docking collar to extend and contract, in a vain try to shake the shroud loose.

Determined to give Selassie a proper reception, the government scraped deep into its depleted treasury for $100,000, used it to plant flagpoles along the two-mile length of road from the airport to the capital of Port-au-Prince, place festive flags all over the city...
