Goals
The four main goals of the Gemini project were...
1. to test an astronaut's ability to fly for a long period of time (up to two weeks)
2. to understand how spacecraft could rendezvous and go in orbit around the Earth and moon (rendezvous is when two spacecrafts orbit in the same plane)
3. to test and perfect landing and launching methods
4. to have a better understanding of the effects of longer space flights on astronauts.
