Scope and content
Major Edward H. White (34) looking down at an earth turned by distance into the lightness of a round and elderly cheese 100 miles below him, as he floated in space during the recent 4-day Gemini flight.
The "umbilical cord" that attached the U.S. astronaut to the spacecraft extends from the container bag, out to the astronaut from the open capsule.
With Major James McDivitt (35), White later "splashed down" safely by Parachute in the Atlantic 400 miles from Bermuda.
