NASA Red Number S-65-30432 Kodak photo 8" x 10". Astronaut Ed White floats over the Gulf of Mexico as he nears the end of his spacewalk extra-vehicular activity (EVA) during the Gemini 4 mission. This was the first spacewalk by a U.S. astronaut. It lasted 23 minutes. White initially used the gas powered gun held in his hand, the Hand Held Self Maneuvering Unit was developed by NASA engineer Harold "Hal" I. Johnson. 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 photographs were taken by commander James McDivitt.
