Summary:

GEMINI-4 MARKS NEW ERA IN SPACE The United States walks away with the latest honors in the space race. Major Edward White takes a six-thousand mile jaunt as he paces his Gemini-4 ship across that void that is the threshold of the unexplored. The saga of the heavenly twins begins at dawn and goes off with hardly a hitch. Trouble with the erector holds the countdown for an hour and fifteen minutes, but the Titan Two gets off the ground in a thrilling display of harnessed power. It was planned for the capsule to follow the booster stage, but it was falling back into a lower orbit and the astronauts were ordered to give up the chase. Then came Major White's walk that will go down in history. He stayed outside the capsule for 20 minutes...twice as long as the Russian cosmonaut... Our man had to be coaxed back into the capsule! Then, the flight went on towards its goal of 62 revolutions and a trip of ninety-seven hours and fifty minutes. Success seems to be riding with the two astronauts as they soar into space-age history. Prayers and cheers for our astronauts on this heroic, hazardous flight.
