no useless stuff no spam ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gemini 8 (officially Gemini VIII)[2] was the sixth crewed spaceflight in NASA's Gemini program, launched March 16, 1966. It was the twelfth crewed American flight and the twenty-second crewed spaceflight of all time (including two X-15 flights higher than the Kármán Line at 100 kilometers (54 nautical miles; 62 miles; 328,084 feet)). The mission conducted the first docking of two spacecraft in orbit, but suffered the first critical in-space system failure of a U.S. spacecraft which threatened the lives of the astronauts and required an immediate abort of the mission. The crew was returned to Earth safely.

The crew was returned to Earth safely.

Command pilot Neil Armstrong's flight marked the second time a U.S. civilian flew into space (Joe Walker became the first on X-15 Flight 90[3][4]), and the first time a U.S. civilian flew into orbit. Armstrong had resigned his commission in the United States Naval Reserve in 1960. The Soviet Union had launched the first civilian, Valentina Tereshkova (also the first woman), aboard Vostok 6 on June 16, 1963.[5]
