Original Gemini 3 crewmembers in mission simulator
Astronauts Alan Shepard (left) and Frank Borman are training in the Gemini mission simulator at Cape Kennedy. In early 1964 Shepard was unofficially named prime crew commander and Borman backup crew pilot for the first manned Gemini mission. However, in March 1964 Shepard was removed from flight status due to his ear problem (Menieres Syndrome). Borman was subsequently reassigned to the Gemini 4 backup crew.
