Have you ever heard about Gemini 8?

Most of the people have never heard about the Gemini program, and it’s most iconic mission, Gemini 8, that almost ended in tragedy. It took off in 1966, three years before Apollo 11′s Moon landing, and the plan was to dock with a vehicle that is already in space - Agena spacecraft. The rendezvous happened without any issues, but something went terribly wrong.

The pilots, Neil Armstrong and Dave Scott almost died out in space due to an error that caused their spaceship to start rolling around in incredible speed. In the end, they were rolling with 1 turn per second! Scott passed out, but Armstrong could stay conscious and turn off the main control of the spaceship - this slowed down the machine and saved their lives. Could you remain conscious in a vehicle rolling 1 turn/second?
