Walking in Space
Edward White became the first American to walk in space during the Gemini 4 mission in 1965. He floated outside the capsule, connected by a tether, and used a hand-held maneuvering unit to move around. This spacewalk was a crucial step in understanding how astronauts could work and operate in the vacuum of space.
