Description

Desirable flown flag of the United States, 6 x 4, carried into space aboard the Gemini 4 capsule for a period lasting from June 3-7, 1965, signed and flight-certified in black ballpoint, "Flown on Gemini IV, Jim McDivitt." In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by McDivitt, certifying that the flag "was flown on the Gemini IV flight." Also includes a photograph of McDivitt posing with the flag.

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 spacewalks and contributed to the advancements necessary for the Apollo missions to the moon.
