When was the first space docking by astronauts?
The first docking in space was performed by Neil Armstrong and Dave Scott aboard Gemini 8 on March 16, 1966. The first docking was to occur during the Gemini 6 flight, but the Gemini 6 Agena docking module failed to reach orbit. Gemini 8 began a slow tumble shortly after docking. Per mission rules, Armstrong undocked from the Agena. When he did, their spacecraft began spinning about 1 revolution every second. The astronauts were on the verge of blacking out when Armstrong finally regained control of the vehicle and stopped the spinning. Had he not been able to gain control, both astronauts would have died in space. It was Armstrong's courage and the calmness with which he handled the situation that caused the NASA planners to choose him to command the first manned landing on the moon.

How do you get water into space?
In order to have water available for astronauts' use while they are on space missions, the following technology is employed: -- Earth water is injected into bottles, plastic bags, tanks, packaged food, and the astronauts' bodies. -- These items are then stowed aboard the spacecraft, and launched together with the astronauts. -- During the mission, some of the waste water discarded from the astronauts' bodies and from other processes is collected and recycled in the spacecraft.
