DESCRIPTION:
"Excellent Thriller!" according to Bruce Sebring. In the 1960's NASA flew ten very successful Gemini missions from Complex 17 at Cape Kennedy. The US Air Force wanted a space program of their own and developed Dyna-Soar, MOL, and Blue Gemini. While the NASA flights were flown in full public view, the Top Secret military space program wasn't.
