A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on March 23, 2004.

Ninth?[edit]

The article says Gemini 3 was the ninth manned American flight, but the first in the Gemini series. There were only six manned Mercury flights, so Gemini 3 would have been the seventh. Were there other manned flights between Mercury and Gemini? I don't think so. The X-15 reference may be technically accurate, but confusing in context. --- BT, 0005 UTC 25 Aug 2005

I wrote the intro, but a long time ago. From memory, they do include X-15 flights. I did this because it saves the hassle of saying we can't include X-15 flights, and then having people say that we shouldn't include the suborbital Mercury flights then.

Why is the Gemini 3 patch on the page different than the one depicted from other sources?

Water Injection[edit]

The article on Mercury-Atlas 10 says that "the mission would have carried a re-entry communications experiment, which involved injecting water into the plasma sheath surrounding the spacecraft on reentry, in the hope that it would disrupt the sheath enough to allow radio communications; this was later flown on Gemini 3". There's no mention of it here. Did it work? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 22:46, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
