[edit] List contents

This list of spacewalks includes some that took place inside a spacecraft i.e 28 May 1995 Dezhurov and Strekalov and 8 June 2001 Usachev and Voss.

In order to ensure the list is complete I believe the following should be included - in each case the crewmembers were wearing spacesuits with the spacecraft hatch open, but they did not exit the spacecraft.

Gemini 10 20 July 1966 Young & Collins Equipment jettison Duration 0.01

Gemini 11 13 September 1966 Conrad & Gordon Equipment jettison Duration 0.02

Apollo 11 21 July 1969 Armstrong & Aldrin Equipment jettison on moon Duration 0.02

Apollo 12 20 November 1969 Conrad & Bean Equipment jettison on moon Duration 0.02

Apollo 14 06 February 1971 Shepard & Mitchell Equipment jettison on moon Duration 0.02

Apollo 15 02 August 1971 Scott & Irwin Equipment jettison on moon Duration 0.02

Apollo 16 23 April 1972 Young & Duke Equipment jettison on moon Duration 0.02

Apollo 17 14 December 1972 Cernan & Schmitt Equipment jettison on moon Duration 0.02

Apollo 17 14 December 1972 Cernan & Schmitt Equipment jettison on moon Duration 0.01


[edit] Timeline source

Here is better source (http://www.nasa.gov/returntoflight/crew/event_timeline.html) for STS-114 then timeline given by http://www.nasa.gov/returntoflight/crew/event_timeline.html since the nasa.gov since timeline on nasa.gov is not updated correctly.

[edit] Link misdirection

The external link labeled "JSC Oral History Project" actually points to NASA's U. S. Human Spaceflight History page. The correct link to the oral histories is: http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/history/oral_histories/oral_histories.htm WVhybrid 22:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Total number

The external link to NASA gives a total of 243 spacewalks while we list 253. However there were some other errors noted on that page. We have 78 spacewalks from Mir while they list only 75 - possibly they subtracted the 3 internal spacewalks twice. (Seven more to identify.) Rmhermen 17:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spacewalks/EVA

I'm wondering how many europeans, except Thomas Reiter has performed EVAs? Or was Reiter the first one? --84.49.146.87 07:14, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Voskhod2.jpg

Image:Voskhod2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
