# U.S. Astronaut Walks in Space poster, 65-362 (Arabic poster distributed in Beirut)

A fold-out sheet headlined, in Arabic, 'America's space navigator strolls in space' on Edward H. White II's 3 June 1965 spacewalk from Gemini-4. A Titan-2 launch fills the left edge, a large colour photograph of White tethered above the Earth fills the upper right, and three smaller frames carry his quoted remarks. The text calls it the first such walk by an American. The tell is testimonial: the astronaut's own words carry the account, alongside card-stacking of a selected success.
