Description: SARZIN SPACE COVER : EMERGENCY RETURN TO EARTH MISSION ; GEMINI 8 LAUNCH & CREW FACSIMILE AUTOGRAPH (ARMSTRONG/SCOTT). ARMSTRONG WAS FIRST MAN ON MOON ON FUTURE APOLLO 11 MISSION . EMERGENCY" Scott noticed that they were rolling. Armstrong used the Gemini's OAMS thrusters to stop the roll, but after it stopped, it immediately started again. Gemini 8 was out of range of ground communications at this time.Armstrong reported that the OAMS fuel had dropped to 30%, indicating that the problem could be on their own spacecraft. With concern that the high rate of rotation might damage one or both spacecraft or even cause the propellant-heavy Agena to rupture or explode, the crew decided to undock from the Agena so they could analyze the situation. Scott switched the Agena control back to ground command, while Armstrong struggled to stabilize the combined vehicle enough to permit undocking. Scott then hit the undock button, and Armstrong fired a long burst of translation thrusters to back away from the Agena. Without the added mass of the Agena, Gemini started rotating more rapidly. The astronauts realized that the problem was on the Gemini"$1 USA SHIPPNG- $2.50 INTERNATIONAL
