That was a long time ago. Thanks for the info, I didn't know who flew that mission.

I know a man for whom Ed White's spacewalk defined his life-long imprinting of love to spaceflight.

A long time ago, and I can still remember it, especially seeing this picture for the first time:

Amazing stuff, and I thought it would just go on and get better.

That picture is just remarkable. The thought of being in space just calms my nerves. Off topic, but ever notice that when you perform an EVA that you are just falling.

So calm so tranquil and yet so unforgiving and so deadly

Off topic, but ever notice that when you perform an EVA that you are just falling.

You're already in freefall so it's just a switch from falling inside something to falling outside that something.

Twenty minutes sightseeing while tethered then, six hours now repairing with a jetpack.
