1965: GEMINI 4.  Through 7 June, Edward H. White II and James A. McDivitt completed a
97-hour, 58-minute space flight with two firsts: White made a 23-minute space walk (the first),
and Houston’s Manned Spaceflight Center controlled its first mission.  This mission also set a
US space endurance record (62 orbits). (Ed White, the first American to perform extravehicular activity, outside of Gemini 4)
