| Description: | Speaking of royalty, a visiting amateur pilot is welcomed to the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. Prince Philip, on a tour of the United States on behalf of the Variety Clubs, tries his hand at piloting a Gemini capsule in a simulated rendezvous with an Agena Rocket. He does alright, too. Maybe, if he's ever out of a job he could join the Astronaut's team. Houston, Texas Exterior shot of Space Center Houston, POV looking out a moving vehicle's window.
