Gemini 8 (officially Gemini VIII) was the sixth manned spaceflight in NASA’s Gemini program. The mission conducted the first docking of two spacecraft in orbit but suffered the first critical in-space system failure of a U.S. spacecraft which threatened the lives of the astronauts and required immediate abort of the mission. The crew was returned to Earth safely.
