Gemini VIII Astronauts Neil Armstrong and David Scott Return

The Gemini 8 mission, led by Neil Armstrong and David Scott, successfully docked with the Agena rocket after traveling 100,000 miles. However, a thruster malfunction caused the spacecraft to spin uncontrollably. Armstrong's exceptional piloting skills brought the situation under control, allowing for a safe landing near Okinawa. The astronauts were praised for their efforts and returned to Cape Kennedy. Telemetry identified the malfunction in thruster number eight, but it will not delay future missions like Gemini 9.
