SPACE REPORT
GEMINI AND RANGER
OPEN NEW ERA
This could be called the Saga of the Heavenly Twins…. A comprehensive pictorial report of the voyage of the MOLLY BROWN: Lt. Commander John Young and Major Virgil Grissom take off from Cape Kennedy on a Gemini flight that opens a new era in space. For the first time a space vehicle is maneuvered in space, swung around, its orbit changed. The Gemini is a much more sophisticated and versatile vehicle than was the Mercury. It proves its worth in the program that will culminate in a space rendezvous’. The piloting of a space vehicle is deemed as historic as Russia’s “walk in space”. So far as is know, the Soviets have never maneuvered a capsule – necessary routine for a space contact.
Second half of the week’s double-header was the successful flight of the Ranger 9. This photographic vehicle sends a new series of pictures back from the moon which are transmitted for immediate showings on screens across the nation.
It is the third successful moon shot to give scientists new knowledge of the moon’s surface prior to a man’s landing there.
