Waiting to lift off on a near 8-day mission in space for Gemini 5. The Titan II rocket sits upon the launch pad at Cape Kennedy waiting for things to proceed. Gordon Cooper (2nd & last spaceflight) & Pete Conrad (rookie spaceflight) flew the 1965 mission which broke the Soviet’s Vostok 5 record for crewed space duration (4 days & 23 hours) set 2 years earlier. G5 marked the 1st time an American crewed mission held such a record (7 days & 23 hours). Their flight could have lasted 1 day longer but the approach Hurricane Betsy changed plans!

What?! Uh oh. Uh oh. I got the bloodlust.
Had the idea of “what if I did models of the Nintendo consoles as if they were rendered on themselves?” and I did just that!
I plan on uploading timelapses of the process for each one. I have other timelapses on my youtube channel right now! Check it out, if you’d like!
