Ed White (Gemini IV)
The first human taken photograph from outer space: nose and window of Gemini IV seen by Ed White during the first US spacewalk, 3-7 June 1965
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1965, numbered "NASA S-65-30550" in red in top margin, with NASA caption numbered "S-65-30550" (NASA MSC) and "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 20,3 x 25,4 cm
On June 3, 1965 Ed White became the first human being to take photographs from outer space as he was conducting the first US spacewalk outside the Gemini spacecraft.
This atmospheric photograph is the only frame released at the time by NASA and the best of a few pictures taken by White with a Zeiss Contarex 35mm camera mounted atop his gas-powered maneuvering gun.
From the mission transcript during the EVA:
004:37:47 McDivitt: Okay, do you want me to maneuver for you now, Ed?
004:37:50 White: No, I think you’re doing fine. What I’d like to do is get all the way out, Jim, and get a picture of the whole spacecraft. I don’t seem to be doing that.
004:38:00 McDivitt: Yes, I noticed that. You can’t seem to get far enough away. [...]
004:41:10 White: Okay, I’m going to free drift a little bit, and see if I can drift into some good picture taking position.
004:41:16 McDivitt: Okay. Here, let me control the spacecraft .....
