Newly chosen astronauts (left to right) Neil Armstrong, Frank Borman, James Lovell, Thomas Stafford, Charles Conrad, John Young (kneeling), Edward White, and James McDivitt watch the launch of Walter Schirra aboard Mercury-Atlas 8, in the next-to-last mission of the Mercury program.
Standing by. Astronaut James McDivitt readies for training during preparation for Apollo 9. Mr. McDivitt first flew on Gemini 4 with Ed White on a historic space flight in which White became the first American to space walk. Apollo 9 was a 10-day flight which McDivitt commanded and the first to employ the full Apollo spacecraft (the Lunar Module & Command & Service Modules). A9 was also the 2nd crewed flight with the Saturn V rocket. McDivitt was part of the Group 2 of astronauts selected in 1962.

This day in 1965, Astronaut Ed White becomes the first American to conduct Extra-Vehicular Activity, or Spacewalk, aboard Gemini 4. White was beaten to the punch to be first by Cosmonaut Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov, who conducted the first ever Spacewalk earlier in March.
White's EVA showcased NASAs own ability to conduct EVAs, critical for the future of the space program. White spent approximately 20 minutes outside the capsule, before reluctantly returning inside.
"I'm coming back in, and it's the saddest moment of my life."
Astronaut James McDivitt was Command Pilot aboard Gemini 4, and had assisted White with returning to the capsule which was proving difficult, due to an issue with the capsule's hatch which needed to be secured before returning to Earth.
Gemini 4 would be Ed White's only spaceflight. He would perish in the Apollo 1 fire only two years later, with Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee.
