The Titan II GLV the best looking launch vehicle ever!

Makes me thirsty for a large glass of Tang

I consider Gemini to be the first true manned spacecraft. NASA Langley had a plan to get it to the Moon years before Apollo would be ready. Really cool stuff.

This crazy plan will never work!

I can now understand why astronauts need to be very expert in mathematics and physics, because of movements while orbiting are not the same as in resting situation or in a normal "linear" movement. It could be interesting if the theoretical knowledge of celestial mechanics was aleady known or if NASA mathematicians had to figure it from scratch

It's more like "applied orbital mechanics" were defined by NASA after centuries of theoretical work. Buzz Aldrin's PhD from MIT was about rendezvous. There's a NASA publication named _On The Shoulders Of Titans_ about the Gemini program. One issue that keeps coming up was how counterintuitive rendezvous and docking are. Great resource, that book/PDF/webpage.
