Gemini hatch, from the backstage tour of the Smithsonian restoration labs. I have some cool details of the latch mechanism to share too.. Gotta dig those up.

This is one of the coolest artifacts ever. It shows the fragility of spacecraft and the early tech that we used to send people into space. Wow.
