GT-4 EVA —-Astronaut Edward H. White II, pilot for the Gemini-Titan 4 space flight, floats in the zero gravity of space outside the Gemeni-4 spacecraft. Behind him is the brilliant blue of the earth and its white cloud cover. White wears a specially designed space suit, and the visor of this helmet is gold plated to protect him against the unfiltered rays of the sun. He also wears an emergency oxygen chest pack. He is secured to the spacecraft by a 25-ft. umbilical line and a 23-ft. tether line, both wrapped in gold tape to form one cord. In his right hand he carries a Hand-Held Self-Maneuvering Unit (HHSMU) with which he can control his movements in space. White was outside the spacecraft for 21 minutes during the third revolution around the earth. Astronaut James A. McDivitt, command pilot, remained inside the spacecraft during the extravehicular activity.
