The objective was to see if man could walk in space, and they even had two Gemini spacecrafts in space at the same time.
Gemini
I think it was Gemini.
The Gemini program came first. It was a precursor to the Apollo program and its main goal was to develop the techniques needed for the Apollo missions to the moon. The Apollo program followed the Gemini program and its main objective was to land humans on the moon and bring them back safely to Earth.
The Gemini Program
Project Gemini, originally named Mercury Mark II, was the second US space program. It was a bridge from project Mercury to the Apollo moon missions program. The spacecraft carried two people and tested rendezvous and docking.
The Gemini program wanted to send man and spacecraft into space for two or more weeks. They also wanted to perfect the reentry and landing of the spacecraft. During the Gemini program was also when we had the first space walk.

The Gemini mission faced significant challenges during its program, notably the tragic incident of the Apollo 1 fire in January 1967, which resulted in the loss of three astronauts. Although this event directly affected the Apollo program, it also caused delays and heightened scrutiny of NASA's safety protocols, impacting the Gemini missions that were scheduled to support Apollo's objectives. Additionally, there were technical issues during some Gemini flights, such as the Gemini 8 mission, which experienced a critical in-flight emergency when the spacecraft began to spin uncontrollably.
Gemini program: Gemini 6A is launched
The Gemini space program officially ended in 1966. Gemini was an intermediate space program conducted by NASA between the Mercury and Apollo programs, focusing on testing the capabilities necessary for the Apollo missions to the moon.
Good question, but no. The Gemini program was over after Gemini 12, flown by Jim Lovell and Buzz Aldrin.
