Beautiful Gemini Mission Photos

Wired Science has a selection of high quality Gemini photographs from the ten missions in '65 and '66 curated from a larger collection just brought online through Arizona State University.

Most of the images in the archive are downright boring due to the experimental nature of the flights themselves - everything was being captured for later analysis. The more interesting photos are of the Gemini capsules nearing each other during VI-A and VII in a rendezvous maneuver which brought both manned capsules within a few feet of one another. If you appreciate photos of the Shuttle approaching the ISS and the like, you'll appreciate these.
