Buzz Aldrin

Buzz Aldrin on Gemini 12, November 12, 1966 Standing in the open hatch during a stand-up spacewalk, Aldrin aimed the camera back at himself, and NASA now calls the result the first space selfie. The bigger story of this flight was practical: with extra handholds, foot restraints and a waist tether, Aldrin showed that real work outside a spacecraft was possible without exhausting the astronaut, the lesson Apollo needed.
