On November 11, 1966, Gemini 12 lifted off with astronauts James Lovell and Buzz Aldrin aboard. The mission’s objectives involved rendezvous and docking procedures as well as a spacewalk for Aldrin, who spent 5-1/2 hours outside the capsule. On November 23, at LBJ’s Texas ranch Lovell and Aldrin were presented with NASA's Exceptional Service Award. A unique artifact from the early days of the US space program.
