Gemini 7. Spacecraft




This menu is definately unusual......It is the 14 day cycle menu for Nasa's Gemini 7 manned spaceflight in 1965. The crew of Frank Borman and James Lovell spent 14 days in orbit making a total of 206 orbits and were joined by Gemini-6A which performed the first rendezvous maneuver of manned spacecraft. The menu looks like it was typed on my grandmothers typewriter and you would think of the billions of dollars spent on this trip, they could afford a more glamorous menu but I guess they had more important things on their mind and it was 47 years ago.
