The Gemini Space Program: Oral History

Video Oral Histories

Welcome to the video history section of the WHMC Gemini website. When work first began on this project in late 2007, we set out to glean more information from our collection of Gemini photographs. However, after coming across a McDonnell-Douglas retirees website (http://www.macsoldteam.com), it soon became clear that WHMC had an opportunity to work with many of the individuals who made Gemini a reality. Click here to download photos and information from the November 2007 meeting.

Working with these men over the past few months has been a real privilege--I want to extend a sincere thank you to them for their time and stories. Enjoy!
