 NASA Space Monkey TrainingThis news footage likely shot for a local network television affiliate demonstrates the training of rhesus monkeys for space flight. It is likely that the scientists in the film are Dr.
Wade Lynn Brown and Dr. H.C. Blodgett, University of Texas at Austin psychology professors who oversaw training of the monkeys at the Balcones Research Center’s radiobiology laboratory in Austin.
The scientists trained monkeys using a shock avoidance task and harness system that is depicted here. Sam the rhesus monkey was the most famous of the primates sent into space during the early
years of NASA. Launched aboard a “Little Joe” rocket as part of Project Mercury on December 4, 1959, Sam tested the launch escape system. Miss Sam, another rhesus monkey and Sam’s mate, was also
launched as part of Project Mercury in January 1960. | |

Specifically discussed is the Gemini 9 spacecraft a 1966 manned space flight, the seventh manned Gemini flight, the thirteenth American space flight, and the twenty-third space flight of all
time. The Gemini was to dock with the Augmented Target Docking Adaptor (ATDA) depicted in the film. At the time of the filming, NASA was readying the ATDA for launch at Cape Kennedy,
Florida. |  The President - November 1966This footage, a monthly report produced by The White House Naval Photographic Unit, captures the activities of President Johnson in November 1966. Upon returning from an international
tour at the start of the month President Johnson prepared himself to undergo surgery, and therefore spent much of the month at the LBJ Ranch, resting and conducting official business. Highlights
of Johnson’s presidency captured in this monthly report include: a meeting with important US officials including Robert McNamara, UN Ambassador Arthur Goldberg, Vice President Hubert Humphrey,
former President Dwight Eisenhower, as well as Gerald Ford; press conferences and awards ceremonies held at the LBJ ranch, including an award ceremony at which astronauts Edwin Aldrin and James
Lovell are presented with Exceptional Service Medals; the first family also features into the footage including images of President Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson celebrating their 32nd wedding
anniversary. As President Johnson spent much of November 1966 preparing for, and then recovering from, surgery there are many images in this footage of Texas, including: the LBJ Ranch, the
Municipal City Hall and Saint Barnabas Episcopal Church in Fredricksburg Texas, Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, and the Welhausen School in Cotulla Texas where President Johnson had
taught. |  The President - November 1968This footage, a monthly report produced by The White House Naval Photographic Unit, captures the activities of President Johnson in November 1968. Having decided not to seek reelection
