In the elevator on the way to the White Room at Pad 19 for simulations on May 29, 1965, astronauts James A. McDivitt (right), command pilot, and Edward H. White II, pilot, are shown with suit technicians Clyde Teague (right center) and Joe Schmitt. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's two-man Gemini-4 mission is scheduled for 62 revolutions in four days. The backup crew, astronauts Frank Borman and James A. Lovell Jr. (both out of frame), will replace the prime crew if either crewman should become ineligible for the flight.
