Happy Space C amps Splash Down After 206 Orbits, Five Million Miles Borman, Lovell Apparently Fit By Ronald Thompson Associated Press: Writer SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON, TEX. — America’s champion Gemini 7 astronauts plunged happily back to earth Saturday|} after man’s longest and most significant voyage in the strange world of space. _ “Better than expected,” summed up doctors’ first findings on the bearded pilots, Air Force Lt.'Col. Frank Borman and Navy Cmdr. James A. Lovell Jr., home from a historic 14-day flight. Aside from a few wobbly steps, their first since slipping into ‘their tiny space ship Dec. 4, neither showed any initial ill effects from the two-week ordeal. _ “Tm dirty,” Borman declared cheerfully. ‘‘But it’s good, t| honest dirt.” : The sweaty spacemen appeared so well, one Space Agency doctor said, they seemed to be in “‘better shape’’ than the twoen crew of Gemini 5 was after only eight days in space. | They May Have Won Their Bet The flight of Gemini 7, highlighted by a historic rendezvous with Gemini 6, brought the United States all major manned Spaceflight records, carrying the nation a great stride forward in its race to the moon. With pinpoint accuracy, Borman and Lovell made their fiery dive home just the way they wanted—so good in fact, they may have won a bet from Gemini 6 pilots Walter M.

Gemini 7 — The ground’s clean as a whistle. Ground—Right. I’ll bet it was clean last night. Gemini 7 — No, we did it this morning. Start on Checklist — Right. Would you go ahead and start your powerup and alignment checklist. Gemini 7 — Starting it now.
