Edward
White was named as a member of the astronaut team selected
by NASA in September 1962.
He was pilot for Gemini 4, which was a 66-revolution,
4-day mission that began on June 3, and ended on June 7,
1965. During the third revolution, he carried out the
first extra vehicular activity in the United States manned
space flight program. He was outside Gemini 4 for 21
minutes, and became the first man to control himself in
space during EVA with a maneuvering unit. Other highlights
of the mission included cabin depressurization, opening of
cabin doors, and 12 scientific and medical experiments.
He received the NASA Exceptional Service Medal and the U.S.
Air Force Senior Astronaut Wings for this Flight. On March
21, 1966, he was named as one of the pilots of the AS-204
mission, the first 3-man Apollo flight.
