The flight of Gemini 4 in June 1965 was conducted barely four years after the first Americans flew in space. This would be double the experience gained from the six Mercury missions combined. This daring mission was the first to be directed from the new Mission Control at the Manned Spacecraft Center near Houston, Texas.
