Then came the first dizzying and unexpected vision of the earth below, seeming to spin, and the sudden, explosive separation of the two spaceships. Finally, as the freed Gemini began to roll faster and faster, the camera recorded the alternating brightness of reflected sunlight and the darkness of outer space sweeping in accelerating flashes across the craft's nose until the film...
...shipboard controller, who reported to Houston that Gemini was now "showing' pretty violent oscillations." It seemed to Armstrong that Gemini's No. 8 thruster -one of the small rockets used to turn or yaw the craft-had stuck open and was pushing the craft into an uncontrollable spin, which at one point reached a critical rate of a complete revolution each second...

...exotic combination of liquid oxygen (lox) and liquid hydrogen (LH2). While lox boils off at a difficult -290° F., LH2 boils at -423° F., thus requires extreme pressurization to keep cool. Moreover, in weightless space, LH2, like mercury, tends to gather into a ball or spin off into tiny globs; simply to feed the fuel from tank to engines, the second stage was equipped with three fast-burning rockets that exerted enough G force to start the LH2, flowing. All went smoothly, and after 7½ minutes of burn, Saturn was 170 miles...
