Gotta say this: I learned a lot about how Gemini prepped NASA for the Apollo missions watching this documentary.
Apollo, of course, is what gets the most attention. But Gemini, wow, they spent a lot of time learning how to do what made Apollo successful. I figured they'd done all that before Apollo 11 landed on the Moon -- but clearly the training mission went on for much longer than that.
If you've got several hours, watch this, and the one that precedes it. Highly recommended.
