Скачать или смотреть KSP | Gemini Lunar Flyby

Right up to the end of the Gemini program, the Gemini spacecraft was considered by its contractor and certain factions within NASA as an alternate means of reaching the moon. The Gemini re-entry capsule, smaller and lighter than that of Apollo, would allow direct launch of a mission to the moon using a single rocket. Alternatively, rendezvous and docking of components launched by two small rockets (Titan 3C's or Saturn IB's) would eliminate the need for development of the Saturn V.

This video follows the direct proposal, aiming to send Gemini on a lunar flyby with a three-staged variant of the Saturn IB. My interpretation closely follows the Saturn C-2 (essentially a longer, 4 stage IB), removing the Centaur on top and replacing it with the Gemini spacecraft, thus matching the proposal.
