#OTD in 1965, Gus Grissom and John Young launched on Gemini 3, the first crewed mission of the Gemini program—so named because each mission featured two astronauts (Gemini meaning “twins”).

During the five hour mission, they orbited the Earth three times.

Seen a rectangular iceberg floating around? We did in 2018!
Our #IceBridge team flew over Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf and spotted this geometric mass of ice. Icebergs often have straight edges, but this one's rectangular shape is rarer.
