Project Gemini Astronauts(must have flown at least one mission)
Ed White (Gemini IV) - first American astronaut to perform an EVA (spacewalk)
Gus Grissom (Gemini III). Rest In Peace, Gus. And Ed too. You both are walking in space heaven now.
Jim Lovell (Gemini VII and XII) - Still alive at 92.
Wally Schirra (Gemini VIa) - played Jingle Bells on a smuggled harmonica after reporting to have seen Santa Claus in flight ['twas Christmas Eve].
Neil Armstrong (Gemini VIII) - Too bad that was pretty much the last anyone ever heard of him.
John Young (Gemini III and X) - Also the ninth man to walk on the moon with Apollo 16. Commanded the first and ninth Space Shuttle missions.
Michael Collins (Gemini X) - he said that the Apollo 11 Mission was “structured for three men, and I consider my third to be as necessary as either of the other two”.
Buzz Aldrin (Gemini XII) - another living Gemini astronaut, at age 91
Frank Borman (Gemini VII) — still kicking at 93 years young.
Pete Conrad (Gemini XI) - at 5’6" he didn’t mind confinement in the capsule as much as others.
David Scott (Gemini VIII) - will turn 89 this June. He praised Neil Armstrong’s brilliant handling when Gemini VIII malfunctioned: “he activated the solution, under extreme circumstances … it was my lucky day to be flying with him.”
James McDivitt (Gemini IV) - it’s actually surprising how many of these guys are still alive over fifty years later
