Book Description
The flight of Gemini 4 in June 1965 was conducted barely four years after the first Americans flew in space. It was a bold step by NASA to accomplish the first American spacewalk and to extend the U.S. flight duration record to four days. This would be double the experience gained from the six Mercury missions combined. This daring mission was the first to be directed from the new Mission Control at the Manned Spacecraft Center near Houston, Texas. It also revealed that: Working outside the spacecraft would require further study. Developing the techniques to rendezvous with another object in space would not be as straightforward as NASA had hoped. Living in a small spacecraft for several days was a challenging but necessary step in the quest for even longer flights. Despite the risks, the gamble that astronauts Jim McDivitt and Ed White undertook paid off. Gemini 4 gave NASA the confidence to attempt an even longer flight the next time. That next mission would simulate the planned eight-day duration of an Apollo lunar voyage. Its story is recounted in the next title in this series: Gemini 5: Eight Days in Space or Bust.

Book Description
This book provides a bridge between the worlds of Python 3 programming and Generative AI, aiming to equip readers with the skills to navigate both domains with confidence. It begins with an introduction to fundamental aspects of Python programming, which include various data types, number formatting, Unicode and UTF-8 handling, and text manipulation techniques. In addition, you will learn about loops, functions, data structures, NumPy, Pandas, conditional logic, and reserved words in Python. Further chapters show how to handle user input, manage exceptions, and work with command-line arguments. The text then transitions to the realm of Generative AI, discussing its distinction from Conversational AI. Popular platforms and models, including Bard (now called “Gemini”) and its competitors, are presented to give readers an understanding of the current AI landscape. The book discusses the capabilities of Bard, its strengths, weaknesses, and potential applications. Finally, you will learn how to generate a variety of Python 3 code samples via Bard.

Book Description
The highlight of Gemini 4 was America's first EVA or "space walk," performed by astronaut Ed White, which allowed the US to catch up with the Soviet Union, who had already performed the world's first space walk. White's EVA was so successful that he had to be ordered back into the Gemini capsule after its completion. --
