Gemini 4 EVA
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
The Gemini 4 Spacewalk -June 3rd 1965.. This footage was recorded from the movie camera Ed White installed on the outer hatch at the start of the EVA. There was no TV coverage of this event but the EVA was filmed by two cameras, the other one operated by Jim Mcdivitt from the Command Pilots seat. Mcdivitt's footage includes his view of Ed pushing off the nose of the Gemini. That moment is also captured during this footage (if you watch carefully!). I have edited the little bits of audio I have collected over the years and added it to the footage. Thus, the footage is not complete. Looking at the Gemini 4 flight transcripts will tell you there is more to find. Also, the EVA was over 20 minutes long and the video footage for the EVA does not last more than 15 minutes (3 minutes of that is just Ed standing in the hatch). So there is audio that could be added but there might not be video for it to be added to. I hope that this video in some way represents what happened that day in space. It was a momentous step and achievement and should always be remembered as such. LM5.

It's nice to hear Ed White so elated and yet very professional at the same time. I watch this and I feel a little sad because we know what happened to him just a short time later.

I really love how his helmet turns at the end
-
Uhh, something weird, Why at 2:13 Ed Whites helmet turns as He salutes the camera?, whats up with that?
Those helmets are supposed to be fixed and stationary with the suit. -
Why was the belt flying all over the place like that at the beginning?
-
Is anything real :/
-
Why do they always use a fish eye camera. It is so obvious here, because the edge of the door of the spacecraft is curved.
-
Yeaaaaaah!! Been looking for this. Thank you!
-
Eyes in the back of their heads?

"Gemini 4, this is Houston, Get Back In!"

You really don't permit embedding? I'd like to insert this video in a collection of stuff about the golden age of space exploration, with all credits, as you can see here: http://www.rmastri.it/spacestuff/gemini-4/gemini-4-eva-2010/ Would you reconsider this choice? Thanks.

I wish you could find tapes of network TV coverage, since ABC, CBS, and NBC all used some sort of elaborate animations, stuntmen in "Peter Pan" rigs, and puppetry to show White out in space (and in the case of NBC, the simulation was in color).

Amazing. Just imagine being up there in space, floating in the void, and being able to look down and see the Earth as a sphere under your feet O_O
-
Wow. Just wow...
-
GET BACK IN! LoL!!
-
That is the saddest moment of my life
-
Was I the only one who noticed the glove float away?
-
Ed you Roger and Gus left us way to early.

i think around 300 km because i assume they don't want to do a spacewalk near the van allen belt
