The Race to the Moon: Gemini 6 and 7 Meet High Above Earth in 1965
Astronauts proved that two spaceships could meet in almost the same orbit. And they proved that humans could survive for the time needed to get to the moon and back. Part four of an eight-part series. Transcript of radio broadcast: 30 June 2009

However, the target -- a satellite -- apparently exploded after it was launched. So Americas space agency, NASA, said there was no reason to send up Gemini Six. NASA decided to move ahead with the next flight, Gemini seven.
VOICE TWO:
Then NASA considered yet another plan. It would launch Gemini Seven. And, if everything was ready, it would launch Gemini Six a few days later. Gemini Six would chase, and get close to, Gemini Seven instead of a satellite.
