- Documentary about the Gemini XII mission, entirely based on historical narration, mission audio and footage. The full mission is covered, showing training, Agena and Titan launch, rendezvous, EVA, tether experiment, reentry and recovery.
Gemini 12 (officially Gemini XII) was the tenth crewed spaceflight mission of NASA's Project Gemini, which flew from November 11 to 15, 1966. Commanded by Gemini VII veteran James A. Lovell, the flight featured three periods of extravehicular activity (EVA) by rookie Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, lasting a total of 5 hours and 30 minutes. It also achieved the fifth rendezvous and fourth docking with an Agena target vehicle.

The footage was AI upscaled (Topaz AI) on some segments, besides the usual color correction. Ambient audio was recreated based on historical elements. Sequences are shown in proper mission context as much as possible.
Historical narration (from mission commentary, NASA documentaries and progress reports, and TV and radio broadcasts sourced from LM5 and Apollo16uvc are used in an attempt to capture the feeling of the times. Language and attitudes should be seen in that context.

Retro Space Hd, it's with great sadness that I must inform you that Astronaut Richard Truly (Flew on the Approach and Landing Tests, STS-2 and STS-8) passed away yesterday.
RIP
Thank you for letting us know. God bless
Ad Astra
...and NASA Administrator
Jim Lovell is got to be my favorite astronaut
Mine too!
Currently reading Michael Collins’ book, right about at this part of it, 10/10 would recommend if you like the little details!
Is got? I think you meant “has got”
Hanks played him too serious in the movie. Seeing him joking around in the launch pad white room proves that.
Gemini was really incredible, some many tasks to run through, and a implement a couple years later on a giant Saturn with the LM and Command Module. Fascinating footage
This is one of my favorite Gemini missions. A cool crew with lots to do.
As of today 4/23/ 2024 Dr.and USAF Brigadier General Edwin Aldrin, as well as Captain USN, James Lovell are still with us on planet earth.💪
Excellent video! By this point, we were ready to go into the Apollo Program.
Thanks for your work to provide this to the broader enthusiast community! Love watching the details!
Really enjoyed that! Thanks for keeping history alive!
Great doc! Thanks!
10:44 “Notice how he really greases this one in………was I supposed to say that-“ 💀
Amazing recovery work! Wasn't aware about this good quality entry video from Gemini. The audio was apparently copied from Artemis 1, or did it really sound so similar in the 1960s as on Artemis 1?
18:03-24:17 During the 1950's to the 1980s smoking was generally accepted as standard practice (unacceptable today) (examples include everyone in mission control lighting up cigars after the crew was onboard the aircraft carrier, Ronald Evans bumming a cigarette from a sailor after Apollo 17 landed and Jay Greene smoking pipes and was smoking a pipe while ensuring that everything associated with the Challenger disaster was secured) (they prohibited smoking by the 1990s). Most notably, those in mission control (as seen on the film on Gemini XII with the ashtray filling up with cigarette butts) were smoking like chimneys with their favorite cigarettes because they thought it was the only way that they can go to the moon. By the time of the late 1980s, NASA had prohibited smoking at every NASA center. Also, NASA was encouraging the astronauts to quit smoking because not only that it was bad for their health (notably Walter Schirra quitting smoking before Apollo 7 and William Pogue before Skylab 4) but because they were cultivating the image of "The Right Stuff" and seeing astronauts smoking would have made NASA look bad.
That story about Ron Evans was hilarious. They (Gene and Jack) had encouraged him to stop smoking before the flight, advising him to use the flight as an opportunity to quit cold turkey, but the first thing he did after the congratulatory ceremony on the carrier was to ask a sailor (like you mentioned) for a cigarette, much to Gene & Jack's dismay, haha.
I started in MOD in the late 80's. My supervisor, who worked Gemini and Apollo was a chain smoker. He was a bit bitter about not being allowed to smoke cigars in the MOCR. We was still around a few years ago. Not sure if he gave it up or not.
I thought it was funny that Lovell said he'd forgotten to strap in when the hatch was open.
The poor men walking around the Agena launch pad at launch...😢
Another fantastic video . Thank you Retro Space HD . What do you think that is rising above the earth at 38.32 ? Its almost like an arc or ring . It reminds me of the band Rainbows down to earth lp cover . I am assuming it might be a tail created by reentry ? Interesting looking whatever it is ? Thanks again
I've always said if I ever met Buzz I'd want to hear everything about Gemini 12. I probably wouldn't even ask him about Apollo 11.
what's with the big check shown at ~3:55? thanks for posting..
It was a joke “unemployment check” for Guenter Wendt
Seems they saw same Solar Corona as just before Moon Orbit ?
