Description

Original vintage color glossy 10 x 8 red-numbered NASA photo (S-65-30429) of Gemini 4 astronaut Ed White floating high above the Gulf of Mexico during his historic 23-minute spacewalk extra-vehicular activity (EVA), the first by a U.S. astronaut. White initially used a gas-powered gun to move about, but when the fuel ran out after the first three minutes, White maneuvered about by twisting his body and pulling on the 8-meter-long umbilical cord. This photograph was originally taken by mission CDR Jim McDivitt. Reverse of photo bears "A Kodak Paper" watermarks. In very good to fine condition, with small creases and surface impressions.
