Gemini XI was the ninth manned spaceflight mission of NASA's
Project Gemini, which flew from September 12 to 15, 1966.
Astronauts Charles "Pete" Conrad, Jr. and Richard F. Gordon, Jr.
performed the first-ever direct-ascent (first orbit) rendezvous
with an Agena Target Vehicle, used the Agena rocket engine to
achieve a world record high-apogee earth orbit (739.2 nautical
miles), and created a small amount of artificial gravity by
spinning the two spacecraft connected by a tether. Gordon also
performed two Extra-vehicular activities for a total of 2 hours and
41 minutes.

My wife and I enjoy walking these nice sidewalks near our
neighborhood. This is #9 of the Space Race series. I recommend
parking on Veterans Pkwy just north of the Freedom 7 cache.
