In this week’s lab assignment‚ we are asked to research manned spaceflight and provide information on what that mission has given us. I selected the Gemini program which was the second U.S. manned space program. On May 25‚ 1961‚ just 3 weeks after the successful Mercury Program put the first American‚ astronaut Alan Shepard‚ into space‚ President John F.

societal implications of space flight‚ its effects in our society‚ the environment and other technologies. I propose that spaceflight as a technology has furthered our understanding and knowledge of not only space but also has advanced the field of science more than any other scientific endeavor. No technology in human history has created as much innovation than that of spaceflight. I intend to prove that our current and past endeavors for space flight technology has led to the modern technological
