Cape Kennedy, Fla. - Astronauts Thomas P. Stafford, command pilot and Eugene Cernan, pilot of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Gemini 9A mission step out of the suiting up trailer only to be disappointed again. The Gemini flight was rescheduled for June 3, at 8:39 a.m., after the ground electronic command system's inability to send flight parameters to the Gemini 9 spacecraft on board computer. The malfunction terminated the attempted launch of Gemini 9A this morning.
