Gemini 8 - Re-Entry & Splashdown (Full Mission 4)
The final part of the full mission for Gemini 8 sees MCC-H and the crew making preperations for the early retro sequence and re-entry and the final splashdown.
Note: The audio that has been released finishes just after CSQ stations attempt to contact the spacecraft just before re-entry (the attempt was not sucessfull).
Movies used during this sequence include footage from "This is Houston, Flight". HD video taken from the ISS is used between ground stations. Orbiter Space Simulator is used to depict the Gemini spacecraft.
Photos were sourced from Hector Grumberg - thanks to him.
I would recommend the viewer following the flight with the mission transcripts.
all footage and photos and audio is courtesy NASA.

The late, great Neil Armstrong. We all have heroes in our lives, and Neil Armstrong was mine as a child. I grew up in the 60's and watched the space race between the USSR and the USA unfold. What an amazing time in our history, which I was lucky to witness. 🇺🇲

Armstrong showed amazing cool during a potential disaster. At one point they were rolling so fast they could barely see the instruments! NASA remembered this when they were considering the first moon landing crew.

I wish, I trust, that you have the strength and perseverance to continue, since you have many orders and each has a different order. For my part, I hope, I wish, that someday can Gemini 9 to 12, were precursors flights, all very nice, each with its own details, and that without them, perhaps Apollo would not have come... This Gemini 8 yours, for example, I do not know how many times I've looked and I never tire. Thanks!!

There is some tantalizing bits of cross talk bleeding over from another channel at about 23:30 for about 30 seconds to a minute. Sounds like someone is about to get chewed out, but the conversation can only be heard when the main audio is silent. Anyone know who that is talking and what its about?

@dieterjaehn8886 6 жыл бұрын

In the previous minutes you can hear the speaker asking for all the tapes and data etc. I assume that’s for the thruster issue. At 23:00 through 23:46 or so it sound like it starts off about someone getting inbound calls like someone is looking for someone. He second voice refers to the caller not saying in reference to the first voice asking where they work. Then basically they’re too busy if to find someone. “That’s it” he says. I’m figuring it’s tense cause they want to know exactly what freakin’ happened.

The audio from the "B Roll" video is *WAY* too loud and it's difficult to hear the flight director's loop. Then again, that's what it was really like for the guys in the MOCR as they tried to listen to their back rooms and the boss simultaneously.

Friends, wait a minute - compare the physical condition (in those years) of Soviet and American astronauts after landing. Soviet cosmonauts are often carried on a stretcher (due to a sedentary lifestyle and disorders of the vestibular apparatus due to weightlessness), and the American cosmonauts were clearly on vacation - how so ???

@GlutenEruption 3 жыл бұрын

Cosmonauts were staying in space for weeks/months from fairly early on, while the vast majority of US missions were very brief in comparison - this mission for instance (Gemini 8) wasn’t even 11 hours long! A more fair comparison might be Apollo 14 vs Soyuz 11 - both around the same time (1st half of 1971) but even though Apollo 14 went all the way to the moon, it wasn’t even 10 days, whereas Soyuz 11 was the very first mission to the very first space station and the crew spent almost a month in space. Even up through the 2000’s, almost all American shuttle flights were just a few days, while cosmonauts were spending 6 months+ on MIR. Until the ISS, the US only had one space station and there were only 3 missions total - the last crew (Skylab 4) spent 84 days and did need chairs when they returned but mostly, astronauts of the period just didn’t spend long enough in space to require any special treatment on return.
