Edward Higgins White II, a 34 year old American astronaut, describes a space walk in stark, weightless space. He details stars, sun glare, heat and cold contrasts, Earth seen as a hazy plain, and the tethered movement with the spacecraft nearby.
Maj. James A. McDivitt Jr. left a Kalamazoo job fixing water heaters to become a spaceflight pioneer. His father, a Consumers Power engineer, recalls the moment the future astronaut told him he wanted to be the man on the other side of the desk. The family moved to Jackson and he enrolled at Jackson Junior College.
The wives of James A. McDivitt and Edward H. White II will monitor the Cape Kennedy liftoff by television and radio from El Lago and Nassau Bay homes as their husbands begin a four day flight. The families may visit Mission Control during the mission.
