"South Carolina is the only state," the Associated Press reported, "which, to this day, had preserved segregation in public schools at all levels." ^[108] Gantt's entry into the university was described as peaceful, and it was reported that "On the surface, Gantt was being treated by students and college officials alike as just another newcomer." ^[109] Most South Carolina public schools did not integrate until the 1970s. ^[110]

• At a launch guidance and control coordination meeting on January 29 and 30, The Aerospace Corporation described three Titan II development flight failures that had been caused by problems in the General Electrical Mod III airborne radio guidance system. Although these failures did not appear to be the result of inherent design faults that might react on the Gemini program, Aerospace felt that a tighter quality assurance program was needed: "GE has a poor MOD III (G) quality control program, basically poor workmanship." ^[30]
• France vetoed the United Kingdom's application for entry into the Western Europe's European Economic Community (EEC), known as the "Common Market". ^[113] The move had been hinted at earlier by President Charles de Gaulle earlier.

U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk would issue an apology two days later for the tone of the comments, which The New York Times described as "ill-considered and unusually blunt". ^{[117] [118]}
• Gemini Project Office asked NASA Headquarters for authorization to use preflight automatic checkout equipment for Project Gemini.

Low asked that four automatic checkout stations be provided for Project Gemini as quickly as possible. Initially approved, the use of automatic checkout equipment in the Gemini program would subsequently be dropped as an economy measure. ^[30]
