"Mike threw the switch and a minute and 24 seconds later...it was really something. We had a negative 1-g and were driven forward in the cockpit...we got a tremendous thrill...on our way out to apogee and a new world's record for altitude..."
John Young, at post-flight news conference

How does it feel to be rid of that freight train you had in front of you?

The Gemini X Agena was the first target vehicle to have the US flag painted on it.

"It was on this Agena that we painted the United States flag for the first time. I was very pleased to see it when we got there. That is a beautiful vehicle. It took tremendous engineering skill...to get those two vehicles up there at the same time."
- John Young
"We burned the Agena main engine three times - the first time, 14 seconds; the second time, 11 seconds; and finally a short burn of four seconds, and in all cases the Agena performed magnificently, a flawless performance."
John Young, at post-flight news conference
