I raro i te punaha hurihuri noa, ko te roopu taapiri mo tetahi misioni ka waiho hei roopu matua mo te toru o nga misioni i muri mai, engari i tohua e Slayton a David Scott hei paerata o Gemini 8. Ko Scott te mema tuatahi o te roopu tuatoru o nga astronauts, ko tana whiringa i panuitia i te Oketopa 18, 1963, ki te whiwhi i tetahi waahanga rangatira. I tohua a See hei rangatira mo Gemini 9. Mai i taua wā, ko ia misioni Gemini i whakahaeretia e tētahi mema o te rōpū o Armstrong, me tētahi mema o te rōpū o Scott hei paerata. Ko Conrad te kaitautoko o Armstrong i tēnei wā, ā, ko Richard F. Gordon Jr. tōna kaiurungi. Ko Armstrong te tangata whenua tuatahi o Amerika i te mokowā. (Ko Valentina Tereshkova o te Soviet Union te tangata tuatahi - me te wahine tuatahi - tata ki te toru tau i mua i runga i te Vostok 6 i te wa i whakarewahia ai i te Pipiri 16, 1963.) Ko Armstrong ano hoki te whakamutunga o tana roopu ki te rere i te waahi, i te mea i mate a See i te hinganga o te T-38 i te Hui-tanguru 28, 1966, i mate ai hoki te oranga o te hoa rangatira a Charles Bassett. I whakakapihia e te roopu tautoko o Tom Stafford me Gene Cernan, i te wa i neke a Jim Lovell me Buzz Aldrin mai i te roopu tautoko o Gemini 10 ki te noho hei tautoko mo Gemini 9, a ka rere i te Gemini 12. I whakarewahia a Gemini 8 i te Poutu-te-rangi 16, 1966. Koinei te miihana tino uaua rawa atu, me te huihuinga me te tauranga me te waka whaainga Agena kore, me te tuarua o nga haerenga a Amerika mo te waahi (EVA) na Scott. I whakamaherehia te misioni kia 75 haora me te 55 nga porowhita. Whai muri i te Agena i whakaarahia i te 10: 00:00 EST, ka mura te rokiroki Titan II e kawe ana i a Armstrong me Scott i te 11: 01: 02 EST, ka tuu ki roto i te aorangi i whai ai ratou i te Agena. I tutuki i a rātau te tūnga tuatahi i waenganui i ngā waka ā-ao e rua. He tūāwhiotanga te whakapā ki te kapa nā te kore o ngā teihana aroturuki e hipoki ana i ō rerenga katoa. Ahakoa kaore i te whakapiri atu ki te whenua, ka tiimata te waka rererangi kua honoa, ana ka ngana a Armstrong ki te whakatika i tenei ma te Gemini's Orbit Attitude and Maneuvering System (OAMS). E whai ana...  Pātai: He aha te momo waka e whakahuatia ana?
te waka ūnga Agena kore
