Gemini 6 pilot Tom Stafford took this picture as command pilot Wally Schirra flew the spacecraft to within several feet of Gemini 7, crewed by Frank Borman and Jim Lovell.

The launch pace was unprecedented, they had major objectives to accomplish for Apollo — which they did, and I was a young teenager who saw most of the launches from my yard in South Florida. Plus the evening news and newspapers were jammed full of these missions. Thanks for sharing this one!

Like me, I lived on the coast in Florida and now live in Connecticut! It sure was fun to witness all the goings on in Gemini. Felt like there was really something happening.
