I had no idea there were any other Big Gemini fans left in the world. Here, have a Rogallo Glider Gemini.

Gemini wasn't an amazing capsule. Smaller than even the Soyuz. No launch abort system. Had ejector seats that weren't really useful. It was a very limited design overall.

But what NASA could do with it was amazing. Without the Gemini, NASA would had to learn lots of important things using the larger, later to develop, and more expensive Apollo spacecraft which would've slowed the program. The pretty rapid development and utilization of the spacecraft showed that the capability of NASA was nothing short of spectacular.

No. Just no.

How many days do I have to spend in this general before NASA hires me?

The answer is always one more day.
