Beyond My Grasp--Gemini 10 EVA Gicleeby James Dean
Book cover for LIFTOFF by Michael Collins"The Agena was just beyond my grasp; in fact, the whole situation was beyond my grasp. I hadn't expected anything like this--to slip off this unstable satellite and go tumbling to God-knows-where. Where was my cumbersome 50-foot umbilical cord? Not tangled up with the Agena, I hope, but I couldn't see it nor John Young in the Gemini, so hope was the best I could do." --MICHAEL COLLINS 2004 Gemini 10 actually renezvous'ed with two Agena docking targets, the first was their own, which used its powerful rocket to kick them up to a (then) record-setting altitude to rendezvous with the dead Agena from Gemini 8, parked in a high orbit. Collins was to retrieve an experiment package from Agena 8, and finally did, losing his Hasselblad camera, full of pictures, in the process. ABOUT THE ARTISTJames Dean was former art director at NASA, and curator of the National Air & Space Museum.
