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.
