USSR 1965 Voskhod 2 First Spacewalk Stamp

Alexei Leonov left Voskhod 2 on March 18, 1965, and became the first person to walk in space. This wide 10-kopek Soviet stamp shows him in an orange suit tumbling away from the spacecraft on his tether, with the date of the walk printed in the panel beside him. Its long, horizontal format gives the scene room to breathe, and it makes an ideal opposite page to the 1967 American Space Twins, which show Ed White's walk less than three months later.
