Gemini 3 - Molly Brown

This spacecraft was the first of the Gemini crewed missions. This the only capsule the only official name of the Gemini series. Grissom originally wanted "Wapasha", the Native American tribe from which we get the Wabash River. It was worried that connotations to the Wabash Cannonball might be made. NASA also balked at "Molly Brown" until they heard the alternative: "Titanic".
