Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Tata ki te 50 tau ki muri, ka tukuna e NASA nga tangata e rua ki te waahi i roto i te waka rererangi kotahi mo te wa tuatahi - he tohu nui mo te rererangi rererangi a te US. Engari ehara i te mea ko te kaupapa whakahirahira e maumahara tonu ana mo tenei mahi. E rua haora i roto i te misioni, i tangohia e tetahi o nga kaiurungi he poaka poaka poaka poaka i whakaoho i tetahi kaupapa tautohetohe i tautohetohehia i te huarahi katoa ki te Kaunihera. Ko te misioni Gemini 3 o te 23 o Poutu-te-rangi 1965, ko te rerenga mokowhiti tuatahi a Amerika e rua-tangata, i kapi i te tautohetohe i te wa i huna ai e te kaiwhaiwhai a John Young tetahi paramanawa poraka poraka i runga i te papa. Ko te sandwich e whakaatuhia ana i konei i whakauruhia ki te acrylic ka whakaatuhia ki te Whare Taonga Whakamaumahara Grissom i Mitchell, Indiana. I whakamāramahia te kaupapa e Robert Pearlman i Collectspace,. I runga i ngā misioni rererangi ā-ao, he tino rāhuitia ngā mea e whakaaetia ana kia kawea e ngā kaipūkaha ā-ao. I ngā tau ono tekau, i te tīmatanga o te wā mokowā, i kaha ake ngā herenga i ngā wā katoa i te mea e hiahia ana a NASA ki te whakarite kia kore e raru ngā misioni mōrearea katoa. I hangaia te hōtaka Gemini hei whakawhanake, hei whakamātau hoki i ngā āheinga e taea ai e te tangata te eke ki te marama i roto i ngā misioni Apollo. Ko te rererangi Gemini tuatahi, ko Gemini 3, i whakaarahia mai i te Launch Pad 19 i Cape Canaveral i Florida i te Poutu-te-rangi 23, 1965. Ko te waka ā-ao, i tapaina ko Molly Brown, i kawe i ngā kaipāho ā-ao a Virgil I. Ko 'Gus' Grissom, he kaihauturu, ko John W. Young, he kaihauturu, e toru nga porowhita o te Ao. I whakaaturia e ngā rerenga ā-ao a NASA a Gemini e rua-tangata e taea ana e ngā kaipūkaha te huri i te ara o tō rātou kōwae, te noho ki te mokowā mō te iti rawa e rua wiki, me te mahi i waho o tō rātou waka ā-ao. I whakatūria hoki e rātau te hui me te tūhono ki ētahi atu waka ā-ao. He pūkenga nui katoa ēnei ki te taunga ki te marama, ki te hoki haumaru ki te Ao. Ko te whāinga matua o te Gemini 3 ko te whakamātau i te waka ā-ao Gemini hou, ā-ringa. I roto i te mokowā, ka whakaekehia e ngā mema o te kapa ngā pūkaha ki te whakarerekē i te āhua o to rātau ara, ki te neke paku i to rātau rererangi ā-rorohiko, ki te heke ki te teitei iti ake. Nā tēnei i whakatū ai te huarahi ki ngā mahi e hiahiatia ana mō te angitu o ngā misioni Apollo. Nō reira, i te wā i haere a Hoani...
I whakarewahia te misioni Gemini 3 i Florida i te 23 o Maehe 1965. I runga i te kaipuke ko nga kaipuke rererangi - ko Gus Grissom raua ko John Young. Ko te mea tuatahi mō te hōtaka mokowā o Amerika. Engari he tautohetohe i te wā i kawea mai ai e Young he kai ki runga. I huna e ia he poraka poraka i roto i tana kakahu mokowhiti, a ka kawea atu ki te aorangi. I mataku te mana whakahaere i te tūnga ka whara i ngā pūnaha o te waka ā-ao. I tino rēhitahia ngā kaipūkaha rererangi e rua i te US Congress.
