...Gemini capsules, whose two-man crews will experiment with rendezvous in orbit, are an essential part of the Apollo moon project. The kindergarten schooling of earth orbit maneuvers is intended to train astronauts for the infinitely more difficult moon landing. Next Gemini launch, which is scheduled for late this summer, will test the capsule's re-entry behavior. Unless the program falters, the first two-man flight will come toward the end of this year...

They still won-giving Britain its first Winter Olympics gold medal since 1952. The generous Monti finished third...
