<prompt> Fingqa isihloko: Cishe eminyakeni engu - 50 edlule, i - NASA yathumela abantu ababili emkhathini ngomkhumbi - mkhathi ofanayo okokuqala ngqá - okuyisenzakalo esiyingqopha - mlando ohambweni lwase - United States lokuya emkhathini. Kodwa lo msebenzi oyingqopha-mlando awukhumbuleki nakancane ngenxa yalesi senzo. Ngemva kwamahora amabili kuqaliwe lo msebenzi, omunye wabagibeli wakhipha isinkwa senyama yenkomo esenziwe ngokushushumbisa esabangela impikiswano eyaphikiswana ngayo yonke indlela eya eKongress. Umkhankaso weGemini 3 wango-March 23, 1965, uhambo lokuqala lwaseMelika lokuya emkhathini olwalunabantu ababili, lwagcwala impikiswano lapho usomkhathi uJohn Young efika ngesangweji lenkomo eqoshiwe emkhunjini. Le sandwich iboniswe lapha ifakwe ku-acrylic futhi iboniswa eGrissom Memorial Museum eMitchell, e-Indiana. Lesi sigameko sichazwe nguRobert Pearlman waseCollectspace,. Emkhankasweni wokundiza emkhathini, izinto ezivunyelwe ukuba zenziwe abahamba ngezindiza emkhathini zilinganiselwe kakhulu. Futhi ngawo-1960, ekuqaleni kwenkathi yesikhala, imingcele yayiphoqelelwa kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili njengoba iNASA yayifuna ukuqinisekisa ukuthi zonke izabelo eziyingozi zidlula ngaphandle kwezinkinga. Uhlelo lweGemini lwaluklanyelwe ukuthuthukisa nokuhlola amakhono ayogcina ngokuletha abantu enyangeni ohambweni lwe - Apollo. Indiza yokuqala yeGemini eyayihamba nabantu, iGemini 3, yasuka endaweni yokwethulwa i-Launch Pad 19 eCape Canaveral eFlorida ngo-March 23, 1965. Lo mkhumbi-mkhathi, owawubizwa ngokuthi uMolly Brown, wawuthwele izazi zezinkanyezi uVirgil I. UGus Grissom, umshayeli wendiza, noJohn W. Young, umshayeli wendiza, ezindaweni ezintathu zomhlaba. Izindiza ze - NASA ze - Gemini ezazinamadoda amabili zabonisa ukuthi osomkhathi bangashintsha umjikelezo we - capsule yabo, bahlale emkhathini okungenani amasonto amabili futhi basebenze ngaphandle komkhumbi wabo. Baphinde bavula indlela yokuhlangana nokulinganisa nezinye izikebhe zasemkhathini. Konke kwakuyikhono elibalulekile lokwehla enyangeni nokubuyela ngokuphepha eMhlabeni. Umgomo oyinhloko weGemini 3 kwakuwukuhlola umkhumbi-mkhathi omusha, ongashintshashintshi weGemini. Emkhathini, amalungu eqembu avula ama - thruster ukuze ashintshe ukuma komjikelezo wawo, ashintshe kancane izinga lawo, futhi ehlele endaweni ephansi. Lokhu kwavula indlela yokuzivivinya okwakudingeka ukuze imisebenzi ka - Apollo iphumelele. Ngakho lapho usomkhathi uJohn...  <response>: Umkhankaso weGemini 3 wathunyelwa eFlorida ngo - March 23, 1965. Ngaphakathi kwakunama-astronaut - uGus Grissom noJohn Young. Kwakuwumsebenzi wokuqala wabantu ababili ohlelweni lwasemkhathini lwaseMelika. Kodwa kwaba nempikiswano lapho uYoung efika nokudla ngasese. Wayifihla isandwich yenkomo eyosiwe esembathweni sakhe sasemkhathini wayithatha wayikhipha emkhathini. I-Mission Control yayesaba ukuthi lezi zinhlayiya zingase zilimaze izinhlelo zesikebhe. Bobabili laba bantu basemoyeni basolwa kanzima e-US Congress.
