Description

Original 'Type 1' vintage color glossy 10 x 8 NASA photo of Pilot Edward H. White II performing the first space walk by an American during the historic Gemini 4 mission. Reverse bears "A Kodak Paper" watermarks and purple NASA caption text. In fine condition.

The Gemini 4 mission, launched on June 3, 1965, was a pivotal moment in space exploration as it marked the first American spacewalk performed by astronaut Ed White. This mission demonstrated the feasibility of extravehicular activity (EVA) and tested the endurance of humans in space during its four-day flight. Its success paved the way for future space walks and contributed to the advancements necessary for the Apollo missions to the moon.
