Why are the Gemini missions called the bridge to the moon?

The Gemini missions are called the bridge to the moon because they served as a crucial step in NASA's goal of landing astronauts on the moon. These missions helped develop and test the necessary technology and techniques, such as spacewalks and orbital rendezvous, that would later be used during the Apollo missions to reach the moon. Gemini missions also allowed astronauts to stay in space for longer durations, helping pave the way for the extended Apollo missions.
