Ed White during the first American spacewalk on June 3, 1965, as part of the Gemini 4 mission. He is seen using a handheld maneuvering oxygen-jet gun to float in space over the Pacific Ocean. The photo, taken by Commander James McDivitt, shows White in his gold-plated helmet, protecting him from the sun's unfiltered rays.
