DARREN999
Bill Anders was never on a Gemini flight.
He flew as Command Module Pilot of Apollo 8 in December 1968, with Frank Borman and Jim Lovell.
Lovell credits Anders with taking the famous 'Earthrise' photograph of the Earth over the Moon.
Not sure why he did not fly again as Deke Slayton's rotation should have seen him on Apollo 11.
Usually crew were dropped from the programme due to motion sickness (Rusty Sweickart on Apollo 9 and Borman on Apollo 8 suffered so) or political reasons (Dave Scott suffered this fate).
MY hero to meet would be John Young. Check out what he managed to do whilst maintaing a very low profile:
Pilot Gemini 3. Commander Gemini 10. CMP Apollo 10. CDR Apollo 16 (8th man on the Moon). CDR STS-1 (first Shuttle flight). CDR STS-9 (first Spacelab flight) & Chief of the Astronaut Office.....
