Some information:

Today spacewalks are an almost routine part of space exploration but the very first spacewalk by Alexei Leonov, was anything but straightforward. 

On March 18, 1965, Alexei Leonov ((1934-2019) became the first human to venture into space outside of a spacecraft. This first spacewalk was only 12 minutes long, but in that time Leonov managed to both take note of the amazing beauty of space and have an adventure that nearly cost him his life.

Ten years after The Voskhod -2 mission Alexei Leonov served as commander on the 1975 Soyuz 19 mission, the first joint Soviet-U.S. space mission, called the Apollo- Soyuz Test Project. 

 Leonov had actually expected to become a professional artist, but his life took a very different turn, as he became a key player in the Space Race. 

 Amazing and rare item for your collection.
