Project Gemini was overshadowed by the pioneering Mercury flights that came before it, and the historic and dramatic Apollo flights that followed it. But the missions of Project Gemini were vital in proving and rehearsing the techniques that America would need to land men on the moon and return them safely to Earth. The Gemini missions also set a number of firsts in space exploration. And of the 20 Gemini crewman that flew into space, within a few years 11 would fly to the moon, and 6 would leave footprints there. The Gemini VIII crew (Neil Armstrong and Dave Scott) is the only Gemini crew consisting of future moon walkers (and Lunar mission commanders!)
This movie was made from clips of my various mission sims over the years using Orbiter 2005, Orbiter 2006, Orbiter 2010 and the Gemini Titan 2 Version 4.50 as well as many other add ons. Thanks to the dedicated and talented Gemini add on developers as well as the other numerous Orbiter add on developers, and my special thanks to Dr. Martin Schweiger for Orbiter.
Since 2002 your beautiful creations have made my spaceflight dreams come true.

You should do an extended Gemini video, where if NASA didn't go with Apollo, it could've been from Gemini 13 to Gemini 20 that could've gotten men to the moon.
