Gemini VIII Launch

Today in 1966 Gemini VIII launched with pilot Dr. David Scott and command pilot Neil Armstrong, and rendezvoused with the Agena Target Vehicle 4 hours after launch. Here is footage of them boarding as well as #Agena and #GeminiVIII lifting off. On a side note it was the 40th anniversary of Dr. Robert Goddard’s world first liquid fueled rocket launch. #nasa #agenatargetvehicle #aviationsafari #aviationpreservation #boneyardsafari
