Title
Gemini IV Astronauts Await Liftoff
Full Description
Astronauts James A. McDivitt, command pilot (left) and Edward H.
White II, pilot, are shown a few minutes after insertion in
NASA's Gemini IV spacecraft about 7:15 am EST the morning of June 3,
1965, at Launch Complex 19. After a 1 hour and 16-minute delay,
because of difficulties in lowering the launch vehicle erector,
the spacecraft was launched at 10:16 am EST. A cover over White's
gold visor helps to prevent possible scratching before hatch
closing. The gold visor protected White from the Sun's rays during
his EVA, the first ever performed by American Astronauts.
