The original Gemini 6 was scheduled to launch on October 25, 1965. It was planned as the first docking in space, however that mission was cancelled after their Agena Target Vehicle suffered a catastrophic failure six minutes after leaving the launch pad and exploded. Rendezvous was considered so important that it was decided to change the Gemini 6 mission to a rendezvous mission instead. Immediately after the Gemini 7 launch on December 4, 1965, preparations were underway to launch Gemini 6. On December 12, Gemini 6 was on the pad and ready for launch. The engine fired and immediately shutdown when a plug fell out of the bottom of the rocket. The problem was fixed and Gemini 6 finally launched on the morning of December 15, 1965. Gemini 6 achieved rendezvous that afternoon. After stationkeeping for 3 orbits, Gemini 6 fired its engine to separate from Gemini 7. The following day, Gemini 6 splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean. It was the first recovery to be televised live.
