White II is seen gracefully floating in the vastness of space during the Gemini IV mission on June 3,1965. This groundbreaking achievement marked a significant milestone for manned spaceflight. White's image showcases his astronaut attire, complete with a helmet and shaded visor that shield him from the unfiltered rays of the sun.
