Plaque for Gemini 11 (NASA mission page) circa 2017. It reads


GEMINI XI
September 12-15, 1966
Astronauts: Charles P. Conrad, Jr. & Richard F. Gordon, Jr.
71 hours, 17 minutes, 8 seconds -- 45 revolutions

Pete Conrad actually had no middle name (or middle initial, "P" or otherwise). His mother wanted to name him "Peter", but his father wanted to name him "Charles Jr." His birth certificate reads "Charles Conrad Jr." but he was most commonly called "Pete".
