Fifty years ago this week the Gemini 3 spacecraft was attached to the Titan II launch vehicle on launch pad 19 at Cape Kennedy. Astronauts Grissom and Young had been in training for the flight since early 1964.

Thanks for the chuckle, and yet another great photo. I always look forward to the weekend for the next unique look into the history of space flight. -- Jason
