When did gorden cooper go to the moon?
Never. Gordon Cooper flew abard Faith 7, the final Mercury flight on May 15, 1963. On August 21, 1965, Cooper commanded Gemini 5 to a space endurance record of 8 days. Cooper's co-pilot on Gemini 5 was Pete Conrad who landed on the moon during Apollo 12. Gemini 5 flew 8 days because that was the minimun time it would take men to fly from the earth to the moon and back. Cooper was considered a hot shot be his superiors. He served on several back up crews, but was never promoted to flight crew after his Gemini 5 flight. He was in line to fly to the moon aboard Apollo 14, but was bumped off the flight by Alan Shepard, the first American in space. Cooper resigned from NASA following Shepard's assignment to Apollo 14.
Who was the first man to return to space?
There are various answers to this question. 1) The first person to fly in two spacecraft was Virgil "Gus" Grissom. His first flight was on Mercury 4 on 21 July 1961 and his second was on Gemini 3 on 23 March 1965. Although he reached space on his first mission, this was a sub-orbital flight and he did not go into orbit, though he did so on his Gemini flight. 2) The first person to orbit the Earth on two flights was Gordon Cooper, who flew on Mercury 9 on 15 May 1963 and Gemini 5 on 21 August 1965. 3) However if we accept all space flights and not just orbital missions, as the question does not pose any specific limits, then the first person to return to space was Joe Walker, who flew the rocket-powered X-15 research aircraft above 100km (62 miles), which is the internationally agreed "boundary" of space, for the first time on Flight 90 on 19 July 1963 and on Flight 91 on 22 August 1963, before either Grissom or Cooper made their second flights.

Who was on the Gemini project?

What did Neil Armstrong do in project Gemini?
Neil Armstrong served as backup commander and Capsule Communicator for the 8 day Gemini 5 mission. Buzz Aldrin was also a Capcom for Gemini 5. As backup for Gemini 8, Armstrong fell into the position of Commander of Gemini 8. Most of the crews who were backups rotated to prime 3 missions later. Armstrong's backup Co-Pilot for Gemini 5 was Elliott See. However NASA felt that See should be Commander of his own flight and was assigned to Command Gemini 9, and Dave Scott replaced See on Gemini 8. During Gemini 8, Armstrong performed the first docking between 2 vehicles in space when he docked with an unmanned Agena vehicle. A few hours after docking, the 2 vehicles began an uncontrolled spin, turning one revolution every second. On the verge of blacking out, Armstrong was able to bring his vehicle under control. The flight rules dictated that Armstrong bring the vehicle back to earth on the next revolution. He performed the only emergency landing in NASA history. Had he not been able to gain control of the vehicle, the 2 astronauts would have blacked out and died. They were beginning to get tunnel vision when Armstrong gained control Tunnel vision is the begining of blacking out. Armstrong's performance during Gemini 8 put him at the top of the list of astronauts to make the first landing on the moon. Following Gemini 8, Armstrong became the backup commander of Gemini 11. He was the backup commander for Apollo 8. He did not fly again until Apollo 11. Apollo 11 was his last spaceflight.
