Even the universe is drowning in garbage. The American space agency Nasa is currently tracking around 20,000 pieces of waste materials, spent rocket parts, broken satellites and tons of other waste larger than a tennis ball. All these objects are moving in space at a speed of 27,360 km/h. In addition, we list about 500,000 other pieces of garbage between the size of a tennis ball and a marble. Where does this lead?
50 years ago, on June 3, 1965, Ed White became the first NASA astronaut to perform a spacewalk. It lasted 23 minutes. For the Americans, the Gemini 4 mission several hundred kilometers above the Earth was a major turning point in space exploration, and White successfully tested the propulsion mechanism and space suit.

The first spacewalker was the Russian Alexei Leonov, who succeeded in his feat on March 18 of the same year.
