Gemini 6 nose-to-nose with Gemini 7 in orbit: an iconic image symbolizing the major goal of the Gemini program.

SIGNED and INSCRIBED: “First Rendezvous, Gemini 6 & 7, 15 Dec 1965, Tom Stafford," and SIGNED “Wally Schirra, CDR.” After the Titan engine shutdown and launch abort just 3 days earlier, Gemini 6 astronauts Schirra and Stafford complete their orbital rendezvous with Gemini 7.
