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.
What was the Gemini Spaceship like?
The Gemini program was planned as a bridge between the first US manned space program (Project Mercury) and the much larger and challenging moon program (Apollo). President John F Kennedy promised to land Americans on the moon by 31st December 1969 after the May 1961 flight of Alan B Shepard which lasted just 15 minutes on Freedom 7, the first Mercury flight. Mercury was only meant to get an American astronaut into orbit and ensure the US had equal status with the USSR who had sent Yuri Gagarin aloft as the first human in space. The challenge of going to the moon was much much larger than the challenge of Mercury, and the Apollo program was not ready when Mercury ended in 1963. Gemini was designed to practice techniques needed for Apollo such as EVA (spacewalks), navigation software, long-endurance spaceflights, rendezvous, docking and equipment testing. Gemini was essentially an enlarged and upgraded Mercury spacecraft, able to carry two astronauts and perform much more sophisticated manouveres while in orbit. It was used between 1965 and 1966 for twelve flights.
