NASA was still a young agency when Apollo was introduced. The first space program was Mercury, whose mission was to launch astronauts, one at a time, into space and then into orbit. Following Mercury was the Gemini program. Gemini spacecraft held two astronauts and saw was the first to really start with science and gear experiments. It was during Gemini that Ed White became the first American to perform an EVA (spacewalk). Apollo directly followed Gemini, and the Space Shuttle program followed Apollo.
It was Gemini 3. The first two in the Gemini program were unmanned.

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.

Good question, but no. The Gemini program was over after Gemini 12, flown by Jim Lovell and Buzz Aldrin.
