00:00The crucial thing is responsiveness. Gemini 9 when reality doesn't go according to plan.
00:08The launch of the Agena target module failed, so NASA improvised. An alternative target was
00:15launched with a protective cover, but the problem was that the cover couldn't be fully opened.
00:21Astronaut Gene Cernan still attempted an EVA. His visor fogged up, his heart rate skyrocketed,
00:28and he became disoriented. The mission was aborted. Gemini learned that working in space
00:35requires special tools, restraint systems, and training capabilities.
00:39These insights later saved Apollo astronauts on the Moon.
