So Basically, he got to fly like Iron Man?
Enkeria
Dont get it. But then again, I dont get people climbing mount everest either. I guess its about power of being yourself.. ?
chestbroman
What brass plated steel monkey balls on thos dude
angrytransgirl
Whites first?
ReelPoop
Goodbyyyyyye, Moonmen
We say goodbyyyyyye, Moonmen

I went to a middle school named after him.
ZKintzer
Having schools named after you if the reason one becomes an astronaut
jtthemediocre
Rocketmaaaaaaaaan
BorkLocutus
First American, not first human though.
ICompletedEngineeringOnTime
Why is it called a space walk and not a space float with phish phish gun?
fectin
Succinctness?
Ozarck
Space floats require space root beer and space icecream, and a cold space glass, preferably with a space straw to drink through
gIoblobbIobgob
I can’t imagine
BreakfastWithCountChocula
And he didn't want to come back inside the capsule.
mdzmdz
He also looks to have invented the selfie stick.
EdWinchester
He didn't fit back in the capsule, his balls were too big.
torp
No, they were strapped (not joking, all his suit was strapped to avoid it inflating too much and prevent him to come back inside)
gaidinbdj
It kinda makes you wanna... Break into song? Yep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98qOGY0
ScrewYouAndTheDildoYouRodeInOn
and yet people are all on here acting like SpaceX invented space, cameras, round earth, cars, sex, etc.
phobos535
Literally noone says that
SlappytheDummy
I always think about how absolutely scary but wonderful must be to jump out into space like that.
blindSniper9000
A hand-held oxygen jet. Hand-held. Those were real heroes.
FitzChevalric
Mothergooch
That's really neat
Ozarck
They don't twinkle when there's no atmosphere between you and them
SnepInTime
I always assumed they would still twinkle because they are so small that they would affect different vision cells as your eye moved.
Ozarck
probably doesn't work like that because you technically go blind (very briefly) when your eye makes microadjustments.
SnepInTime
If you aren't perfectly still then those points of light are still going to shift from light cell to light cell. Don't know rod cell's arc
kyyyyyyyle
so he didn't actually walk on the first walk in space? hmm.. i'm starting to see some things line up with nasa and you round earthers..
kyyyyyyyle
also, i'm just kidding. i'm not a flattie. the only issue i have with nasa is that it's not more important to people.. we should be up there
asm80dfa8sdfj
We're up there again. It's not about NASA it's about gov't funding.
phobos535
This was, of course, 1 month after Alexej Leonow became the first man to walk in space.
captainken
As far as we know... he may have been the first man to walk in space and get back alive. Heard some stories.
phobos535
One way or another it was well before White. Not downplaying him, he was still Nr 2 with way less problems, but calling him "First American"
phobos535
and not "Second Human" while ignoring Leonow is bordering on falsification of history
SukhoiSuperjet
Was this by the same guy who told you Stanley Kubrick directed the Apollo 11 moonlandings?
terminalcpl
And then the tether snapped...
SexualPizza
#3 on my top 3 of "ways I don't want to die", behind drowning and burning to death
HardOnStrokeFoundation
Buddy in charge of that probably rated the thing to like 2000lbs just to be safe haha
Mischaschleimer
Engineer Here: You do your worst case calculations on that, multiply it with a safety factor, and eventually add a bit just to be darn sure.
KaJuN
Marcus deserved it for eating Theodore.
TotallyNotASnail
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
poscduke
That's right mate, we're in space
philke5
Ed White died in the Apollo 1 fire, fast tracking many of the safety requirements we have today for astronauts
SgtJohnsonsJohnson
TsunamiJohn
Like not cutting corners with Velcro next to DC switches in a pure oxygen atmosphere
fectin
Not as clear-cut as you think.
TsunamiJohn
You're right... Velcro next to DC switches in a *high-pressure* pure oxygen atmosphere, since they had to simulate 6-8 PSI at sea level.
bloodtaker3
Ed White. Roger Chaffee. Gus Grissom
traddieflygirl0
Rest in Peace Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee.
CrashxDavis
I bet you're super fun at parties.
SocoFox
If I remember correctly, he almost died during that space walk as well. His suit expanded to where he couldn't fit back in the hatch. Had >
SocoFox
> to release almost all the pressure out of his suit in order to fit back in the capsule.

Are extremely dangerous in high oxygen and zero-g environments.

If there's no atmosphere on the moon aren't you just walking in space?
TriskaidekaFeelYa
Nope. Spacewalking means walking outside in near-zero g. The moon's gravity resolves most of the challenges Ed White overcame.
tzxAzrael
Except there's just a tiny bit
StoicOptimist
Depends on what you call space.. there are free floating gases even in space, it's just very sparse.
BlancheTuttle
And if you go to Tennessee, you could be walking in Memphis
AdrianDunne
It's very difficult to moonwalk on the Moon.
SgtThunderfistMD
No, you’re walking on sunshine.
Hoiloidl
Woa-Ho!
changedusernamecosmykiddiscoveredmyrudeone
You are captured by the moon's gravity so not space walking.
LastWishTonight
Yup. Definitly walk walking.
DisgruntledFerret
I think the moon has an atmosphere, in the sense that it has some gravity. It's just one of those "technically yes, but really no" things.
GlowstickJedi
Giant steps are what you take...
hankbaby
I hope that my legs don’t break....
Snooj
Is it "space" if you're right next to a solid object? Do you say you're standing in the middle of a field if you're right next to a barn?
Ronelyn
This was *before* we went to the moon.
MrSpookywasagoodboy2
The moon does have a thin atmosphere though so no
TotallySaneScientist
Depending on the altitude of his space walk could there have been more air than on the surface of the moon right?
phobos535
The moons athmosphere is so thin it doesnt really matter.
Silas007
I didnt check but I would guess earth's athmosphere beyond starting point of space (100-200km) is easily thicker than moon's 1m above ground
Dysseus
Like the earth's exosphere extends halfway to the moon. It's so thin. You don't really notice
JCBalance
Wow, way to skinny shame
Phattyphat
Wow, that's mean
IChangedMyUsernameBecauseMyGirlfriendKnowsMyOldOne
Moon atmosphere matter
garbagetrash101
It was meant to be a joke but i didnt know that. You learn something every day.
idontenglishsorry
on the internet if your joke is inaccurate someone sometime will correct you, its a law
