Title ?Spider? attached to S-IVB stage
Full Description The Lunar Module ?Spider,? remains attached to the Saturn IVB stage in earth orbit prior to docking with Apollo 9?s Command/Service Module, ?Gumdrop.? The photo was taken following separation of the CSM from the S-IVB stage, and the Spacecraft Lunar Module Adapter (SLA) panels have already been jettisoned. Following a March 3, 1969 launch, Apollo 9?s crew of James McDivitt, Dave Scott, and Rusty Schweickart spent 10 days testing the Lunar Module and Command and Service Modules in Earth orbit. Apollo 9 was the first mission to dock the CSM with the LEM, and the astronauts paved the way for subsequent flights to the moon with the CSM and the LEM.

Title Ed White First American Spacewalker
Full Description On June 3, 1965 Edward H. White II became the first American to step outside his spacecraft and let go, effectively setting himself adrift in the zero gravity of space. For 23 minutes White floated and maneuvered himself around the Gemini spacecraft while logging 6500 miles during his orbital stroll. White was attached to the spacecraft by a 25 foot umbilical line and a 23-ft. tether line, both wrapped in gold tape to form one cord. In his right hand White carries a Hand Held Self Maneuvering Unit (HHSMU) which is used to move about the weightless environment of space. The visor of his helmet is gold plated to protect him from the unfiltered rays of the sun.

Walking in Space
Title Walking in Space
Explanation Pictured above [ http://images.jsc.nasa.gov/images/pao/GT4/10074016.htm ] is the first american astronaut [ http://shuttle.nasa.gov/sts-71/welcome/71_100.html ] to walk in space: Edward White. White is seen floating outside the Gemini 4 [ http://www.ksc.nasa.gov/history/gemini/gemini-4/gemini-4.html ] capsule in 1965. The term "spacewalk" is deceiving since astronauts do not actually walk - they float - usually without their feet touching anything solid. White was connected to the spaceship only by a thick tether. He carried a Hand-Held Self-Maneuvering Unit which expelled gas allowing him to move around. A maneuvering device is necessary in the free-fall [ http://homepage.interaccess.com/~jpatpsf/psffall.htm ] of space since there is nothing (besides the spacecraft) to push off of to guide movements.
First U.S. Spacewalk
Title First U.S. Spacewalk
Explanation In 1965, forty years ago on June 3rd, astronaut Edward White made the first U.S. spacewalk [ http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/gemini_4_eva.html ]. Tethered to his Gemini IV capsule, White is pictured above holding a compressed gas "zip gun" for maneuvers in his right hand. His spacewalk began over the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020427.html ] and ended 23 minutes later above the Gulf of Mexico. Of course, the term spacewalk [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spacewalks ] is a bit deceiving as White was falling freely [ http://www.nasm.si.edu/exhibitions/gal109/LESSONS/TEXT/ FREEFALL.HTM ] in low earth orbit [ http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/circles/ u6l4d.html ] alongside his capsule manned by fellow astronaut James McDivitt. In free-fall, White was able to control his motions by firing bursts from his gun until its supply of compressed gas ran out. He ultimately returned [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/SP-4203/ ch11-2.htm ], exhausted, to the two-man Gemini [ http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/history/gemini/ gemini.html ] capsule.
