In the course of ten missions, conducted from March 1965 to November 1966, sixteen Gemini astronauts validated the tasks and procedures (long duration missions, rendezvous, docking, and extravehicular activity) necessary for the United States to go to the Moon. Project Gemini bridged the gap from the theoretical to the practical, and literally showed NASA how to live and fly in space.
