Taking a stroll in space 🚶⁣ ⁣ On June 3, 1965, Gemini IV astronaut Ed White became the first American to venture outside his spacecraft for an extravehicular activity (EVA). Also known as a spacewalk, this skill enabled Apollo astronauts to walk on the surface of the Moon. Spacewalks were used to make repairs to NASAHubble and are still done to make updates to the International Space Station (ISS) today.⁣ ⁣ At the end of the 20-minute spacewalk, White said “This is the greatest experience. It’s just tremendous.”⁣ ⁣ Image description: Astronaut Ed White floats in the microgravity of space outside the Gemini IV spacecraft. Behind him is the brilliant blue Earth and its white cloud cover. White is wearing a specially-designed space suit. The visor of the helmet is gold plated to protect him against the unfiltered rays of the sun. In his left hand is a Hand-Held Self-Maneuvering Unit with which he controls his movements in space.⁣ ⁣ Credit: NASA/Jim McDivitt⁣ ⁣ #OTD #Astronaut #Apoll...
