Astronaut Edward White performs the first American spacewalk, 3 June 1965. Creator
Astronaut Edward White performs the first American spacewalk, 3 June 1965. US astronaut Edward H White II, pilot of the Gemini IV four-day Earth-orbital mission, floats in the zero gravity of space outside the Gemini IV spacecraft. He wears a specially designed spacesuit; and the visor of the helmet is gold plated to protect him against the unfiltered rays of the sun. He wears an emergency oxygen pack, also. He is secured to the spacecraft by a 25-feet umbilical line and a 23-feet tether line, both wrapped in gold tape to form one cord. In his right hand is a Hand-Held Self-Maneuvering Unit (HHSMU) with which he controls his movements in space. Astronaut James A. McDivitt, command pilot of the mission, remained inside the spacecraft

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photo print, we witness a groundbreaking moment in American space exploration. Astronaut Edward White, a pioneer of his time, fearlessly performs the first-ever American spacewalk on 3 June 1965. As he floats gracefully outside the Gemini IV spacecraft, one cannot help but marvel at the sheer audacity and bravery exhibited by this remarkable individual. Clad in a specially designed spacesuit with a gold-plated visor to shield him from the unfiltered rays of the sun, White appears as if he is defying gravity itself. Secured to the spacecraft by an umbilical line and tether cord wrapped in shimmering gold tape, he exudes confidence amidst the vastness of space. In his right hand, White holds a Hand-Held Self-Maneuvering Unit (HHSMU), which allows him to control his movements effortlessly. This image captures not only his physical presence but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. Inside the spacecraft remains Astronaut James A. McDivitt, command pilot of this historic mission. Together they represent America's unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring new frontiers. This photograph stands as an enduring symbol of humanity's quest for knowledge beyond our planet's confines. It reminds us that through innovation and courage, we can transcend earthly limitations and venture into realms previously unimaginable.
