Gemini IX-A Launch

[@Outdoorshuntingshooting]

Tell you what, looking back at the total unknown of the project and its results, these guys had balls.

Interesting to brush off the dust and see these old films again

The whine before lift-off must be the turbine pumps starting up?

The "Vintage Space" channel covers that unique noise from the Titan II.

@@dangelo1369 That "must be" I posited was only me being humble. Of course that is what the sound is.

You can see the differences in the spacesuits between the two astronauts at 0:47. Cernan was slated for the spacewalk.

Gene's suit had the Chromel-R fabric on the legs for protection from the AMU thrusters.

[@scowell]

Couple of Atlas launches at the end for bonus.

Filet Mignon for breakfast. Straight up ballers.

At 0.30 it's nice to see LBJ welcoming the astronauts into the van.
