    GT-4 EVA —-Astronaut Edward H. White II, pilot for the Gemini-Titan 4 space flight, floats in space during the third revolution of the earth by the Gemini space-craft. He is secured to the spacecraft by a 25-ft. umbilical line and a 23-ft. tether line. Both lines are wrapped in gold tape to form one cord. In his right hand he carries a Hand-Held Self-Maneuvering Unit to aid in controlling his movements in space. The visor of his space helmet is gold plated to protect him from unfiltered rays of the sun. A portion of the Gemini-4 spacecraft can be seen across the bottom of the picture. White spent 21 minutes in the zero gravity of space.
