During docking a thruster malfunction on the Gemini 9 spacecraft occurred causing extreme spin of the craft and a near-fatal incident. The docking was aborted, and the spacecraft was commanded to land. During the difficult flight Armstrong performed with an extraordinary calm and expertly resolved the problem resulting in the astronauts returning safely to earth.
