It is well-known that Gemini 8 fired their retros to get control of
the spacecraft, and then reentered. Was there only one firing that got control of the ship, or was there a second one that actually brought it down? If there were two, approximately how much time elapsed in between? http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/history/...mini-viii.html " The crew regained control of their spacecraft by using the reentry control system, which prompted an early landing in a secondary landing area in the Pacific.
