Dave Scott’s lot of two flown food packets that were carried into geocentric orbit during the Gemini 8 mission, which includes: a 3 x 3.5 packet of “Chocolate Cubes,” bearing a small swatch of Velcro, and labels to either side that read: “0252” and “Serial No. FAW 010”; and a 2.75 x 3 packet of “Chewing Gum,” with a punch hole to the upper right and the reverse bearing a small swatch of Velcro. In overall fine condition.
Accompanied by a signed letter of authenticity from Scott.
After completing the world's first orbital docking, the Gemini VIII capsule, still docked to the Agena, began to roll. The crew undocked from the Agena and determined the problem to be a stuck thruster on the spacecraft, which now tumbled at the dizzying rate of one revolution per second. Neil Armstrong and Dave Scott used the capsule's reentry control thrusters to stop the motion, an emergency decision that forced them to end their mission just ten hours after launch.
