"The
crew of Gemini 3, Gus Grissom and John Young, were a matched pair. They
were both good engineers who understood their machines and liked fooling
with them. They were uncomfortable with the invasion of privacy the space
program had brought into their lives, and tried as hard as they could to
deflect questions from themselves to their beloved machines. They were
generally taciturn but both had strong opinions that could flash unexpectedly
and, in Gus's case at least, angrily. Neither was interested in small talk,
and they would endure uncomfortable silences rather than fill the void
with what they considered ancillary trivia....Both had a strong work ethic
and kept long hours."
- Michael Collins, "Liftoff", pg 83 |
