## What is Gemini

[Excerpt from gemini.circumlunar.space](https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/specification.html):

> Gemini is a client-server protocol featuring request-response transactions, broadly similar to gopher or HTTP.
  Connections are closed at the end of a single transaction and cannot be reused. When Gemini is served over TCP/IP, servers
  should listen on port 1965 (the first manned Gemini mission, Gemini 3, flew in March'65).
  This is an unprivileged port, so it's very easy to run a server as a "nobody" user, even if e.g. the server is written
  in Go and so can't drop privileges in the traditional fashion.
