Description: Excerpt from Astronautix.com site: " 4 December 1965 19:30 GMT. Landing Date: 1965-12-18 14:05:01. Flight Time: 13.77 days. Flight Up: Gemini 7. Flight Back: Gemini 7. Call Sign: Gemini 7. Crew: Borman, Lovell. Backup Crew: Collins, White. Location of Capsule: National Air and Space Museum (Smithsonian Institution), Washington, DC. Program: Gemini. Far surpassing the Gemini 5 flight, Gemini 7 set a manned spaceflight endurance record that would endure for years. The incredibly boring mission, was made more uncomfortable by the extensive biosensors. This was somewhat offset by the soft spacesuits (used only once) and permission to spend most of the time in long johns. The monotony was broken just near the end by the rendezvous with Gemini 6."
