Astronaut Edward White Enjoys Long Spacewalk
Astronaut Edward H. White floated 103 miles above Earth tethered by a 25 foot lifeline while his crewmate James A. McDivitt photographed and urged him to re enter. White described the experience as fun and exulting as he drifted beyond a planned ten minute stroll into a twenty minute plus spacewalk. The pair drifted over the United States toward the Dominican Republic in a tense but jubilant mission moment.
