Description
Gemini 12: Buzz Aldrin Signed Gemini 12 EVA Color Photo, in Framed Display with Souvenir Patch. A 7.375" x 9.5" glossy photo of Aldrin during a mission EVA, signed in silver felt tip: "Buzz Aldrin/ Gemini XII". Double matted and framed with a Gemini 12 patch to an overall 13" x 19". A stunning image and a handsome display. Excellent.Before the Gemini 12 mission, there were challenges faced during EVAs in the earlier Gemini missions. Astronauts struggled with exertion and found it difficult to perform tasks outside their spacecraft because there was nothing to counteract their movements in the microgravity environment of space. This often led to excessive fatigue. For Gemini 12, Buzz Aldrin trained extensively in underwater environments on Earth to simulate the weightlessness of space. This underwater training allowed Aldrin to practice and perfect his techniques for moving and working outside the spacecraft. As a result, he was able to effectively use body positioning, leverage, and newly designed handholds and footholds on the spacecraft to conduct his tasks during his three spacewalks efficiently. Aldrin's successful EVAs on Gemini 12 helped pave the way for the more complex EVAs of the Apollo lunar missions.
