A beautiful view of the Gemini-11 Agena target vehicle and its Atlas launcher on pad 14, waiting for liftoff on September 12, 1966. Astronauts Conrad and Gordon were launched 90 minutes later and caught up with the target after one revolution: M=1.

OK, now that is a fantastic photo. I hope that everyone is downloading and saving all of the photos in this series because you may not see many of them elsewhere. Thanks Ed for continuing this series.
