Neil Armstrong's first spaceflight was aboard Gemini 8 on March 16, 1966. Armstrong's co-pilot on Gemini 8 was Dave Scott, who became the first man to drive on the moon when he landed his Apollo 15 spacecraft on the lunar surface.
Gemini 8 performed the first docking in space. While the Gemini was docked to the Agena spacecraft, the 2 vehicles began tumbling. Armstrong managed to separate his Gemini spacecraft from the Agena. When he did that, they started tumbling about one revolution per second. They were on the verge of blacking out when Armstrong finally gained control of the vehicle. Had Armstrong not gained control when he did, the crew would likely have perished. Gemini 8 landed in the Pacific Ocean one revolution later. It was the first emergency in space. NASA heirarchy was so impressed with the way Armstrong handled the emergency that he was given the a shot at the first lunar landing.
