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.

Ed White, jogging.

“He was kind of the perfect dad. He was the kind of person who could do anything if he went after it, and he would make you feel like that, too.”

Happy birthday to Walter Marty “Wally” Schirra Jr. (March 12, 1923 – May 3, 2007)!

“You don’t raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they’ll turn out to be heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes.” -Walter Schirra, Sr. on his son Wally, 1962

Someone is getting ready to take those nice “first American spacewalk” pictures.
