As with all spaceflights, a period of reflection followed the achievements and setbacks of the completed mission. What lessons had been learnt that could be applied to the next missions and future programs? As time marched on, the true legacy of the mission became more apparent and its place in the evolving history of human exploration, technology, and spaceflight in particular, became clear. Gemini was conceived to develop the techniques, skills and human endeavor that Apollo would require in reaching for the Moon. Most of the Gemini astronauts would move on to Apollo assignments, though not all would fly those missions. As with Gemini 4 which proceeded it and Gemini 7 which followed, Gemini 5 was another step towards attaining long duration human spaceflight, one that also clearly provided much needed confidence that President Kennedy's lunar goal was within reach.
