Ed White floats over New Mexico

Earth
Gemini 4 astronaut Ed White performing an extra-vehicular activity (EVA) over New Mexico on the third orbit on 3 June 1965. This was the first spacewalk by a U.S. astronaut. It lasted 23 minutes. White initially used the gas powered gun held in his right hand. After the first three minutes the fuel ran out and White manuevered by twisting his body and pulling on the 8 meter long umbilical cord. The photograph was taken by commander James McDivitt.
