Talk:Gemini 5
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Query
Either Cooper or Conrad were the first American astronaut to defecate in space on this mission. It's not exactly the same kind of milestone as spacewalking or stepping on the moon, but I saw it at http://www.doctorzebra.com/drz/s_medhx.html and was surprised it wasn't mentioned anywhere else. --Jkonrath 19:51, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- Were they? Gemini 4 was a 4-day mission, it's hard to imagine that McDivitt and White shouldn't have defecated during their mission. --Proofreader 15:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mission patch incorrect?
The article shows a patch with "8 days or bust" on it. As stated in the article, NASA did not permit that quote on the official mission patch and photos of the astronauts just after landing show them wearing a patch without the quote. Is there not a photo of the official patch available? Rillian 12:52, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
