"Couldn't hit the broadside of a barn" During MSAS-32, Big Blue Gemini brought up the firstStingbat Uninhabited Combat Spacecraft (UCS) to conducttests with. During the test, the Stingbat had trouble locking onto the GINO, so Lt. Col Chris “Ox” Jones spun Big G around to present the “broadside of a barn” as he put it. The UCS still couldn’t lock on, and instead targeted a passing satellite- several hundred miles away. “What a dingbat,” Ox quipped, and the nickname stuck.
