Giders are dependent on atmospheric lift under the wings. they would not work in true interplanetary space. however there were attempts to use foldable glider-wing devices called Rogallo wings in the sixties and seventies. they looked like first-decade swallow-wing early airplanes on test rigs. despite satisfactory tests, not used on manned Gemini or other space capsules- though they were steerable and could land on land, the craft equipped with retractable skids- at least in theory. in 2003 ad (maybe 04) I saw captive Rogallo wing gliders as part of a Carnival ride.
