Happy Birthday to Neil Armstrong on what would have been his 90th birthday.

“All his life, in whatever he did, Neil personified the essential qualities and core values of a superlative human being: commitment, dedication, dependability, a thirst for knowledge, self-confidence, toughness, decisiveness, honesty, innovation, loyalty, positive attitude, self-respect, respect for others, integrity, self-reliance, prudence, judiciousness, and much more. No member of the human race stepping out onto another heavenly body could possibly have represented the best of humanity more than Neil Armstrong did.” - James Hansen in First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong

Space cowboy. Gemini 4 astronaut Ed White dons the hat as Commander Jim McDivitt looks as do G4 backup crew Frank Borman & Jim Lovell. It was the first spaceflight for all involved. Ed White wanted to stay out longer than the 20 minutes he spent on his historic 1965 spacewalk & used the opportunity of taking photos as an excuse to do so. However, McDivitt reminded him of time constraints & White returned. He called it, ‘the saddest moment of my life’ as he re-entered the Gemini capsule. He became the first American to perform an EVA (spacewalk) on the mission.
