Description
My edit of a NASA released image.
On June 3, 1965, Ed White became the first American to walk in space when he ventured outside the Gemini capsule into the vacuum of the cosmos. He was among NASA's Astronaut Group 2, an elite group of nine astronauts selected for the Gemini program; White was also the senior pilot of the first Apollo mission, where he met a fateful end. White and his two crew-mates were the first American casualties of the Space Race after a fire erupted in the Apollo command module during a training exercise in 1967.
