The NEWSWEEK cover of the June 15, 1965 issue featured Astronaut Ed White's EVA (Extra-Vehicular-Activity) during the Gemini IV Mission. White became the first American to perform a "spacewalk." The cover is not an actual picture of White's EVA. Instead, it is a simulated photo of how the activity was thought to have appeared. (Note, the absence of the American Flag patch on the left shoulder of the spacesuit.) Later, Ed White perished in the Apollo fire of January 1967.
