In 1965, during NASA’s Gemini 4 mission, astronaut Ed White used a handheld maneuvering gun to control his movement while tethered outside the spacecraft. The simple device used compressed gas to push him gently through microgravity, proving that astronauts could actively navigate and work in open space, a critical step toward future space stations and deep-space missions.

The Apollo missions were NASA’s historic space programs that first took humans to the Moon between 1969 and 1972. Astronauts landed on the lunar surface, collected rock and soil samples, set up scientific experiments, and safely returned to Earth. These missions proved that humans could travel beyond Earth, work on another world, and come back with valuable scientific knowledge. Apollo changed space exploration forever and gave humanity its first close look at the Moon. 🌕🚀 #space #spacex #nasa
