Berkeley Carving

Currently there are three Space Images in the Berkeley Petroglyph: the International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Gemini VII capsule. Gemini featured several manned missions into orbit, and like many people of my generation, the early manned missions to space were awe inspiring.

Encoding in the petroglyphs a key to the specific moment in which they were carved is an ongoing challenge. One solution is to use only successful NASA missions from my own lifetime. This petroglyph shows Gemini VII as seen from Gemini VI as they are lined up to dock on December 15, 1965.
