In 1965, during the Gemini 4 mission, astronaut Ed White became the first American to spacewalk. While it was a historic moment, it was also nerve-wracking as it was a brand-new and untested endeavor. In 2013, Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano faced a terrifying situation as his helmet started filling with water during a spacewalk, prompting an immediate return to the ISS. The 1984 spacewalk by Bruce McCandless, using the Manned Maneuvering Unit, showcased breathtaking views but also highlighted the isolation and potential dangers of untethered spacewalks. The challenges of spacewalking are a great reminder of how much courage and resilience it takes to be an astronaut. #brightside Credit: NASA Animation is created by Bright Side. —————————————————————————————- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru —————————————————————————————- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me
