November 14, 1930 … Happy 90th birthday astronaut Edward White ! Today would have been the 90th birthday of NASA astronaut Edward H. White, who made the first US spacewalk in June 1965. A true American hero, Ed White was selected in NASA astronaut Group 2 but he died in the Apollo 1 pad fire in January 1967. This photo shows astronaut White holding a picture of JFK while attending a ceremony at Brooks Air Force Base in June 1965. A week after the Gemini IV spaceflight mission, Edward White still wore one of his pair of NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster 105.003-63 chronograph on a velcro strap. (Photo: USAF/UPI)
