Smilies Legend
[i]By early 1966, I figured Gemini 10 was mine but now Ed White told me it wasn't going to be his, that he had the word from Deke Slayton that he was moving on to Apollo. He was ambivalent about it, wanting to fly another Gemini mission but also wanting to get in on the ground floor of Apollo [N.B. Recall that this is exactly what Gus Grissom did after GT-3]. Personally, I thought that Apollo made more sense for him at the time, and I thought that he might very well end up first on the moon, as he had a lot of things going for him. He had projected exactly the right image as the nation's first spacewalker, and why not do the same as the first moonwalker?[/i]
