Live Chat: First American Spacewalk
Join us for an Air and Space Live Chat celebrating the 55th anniversary of the first American spacewalk by astronaut Ed White in 1965. Bring your questions that historic moment and spacewalks in general for our guests Museum curator Jennifer Levasseur, NASA chief historian Bill Barry, and astronaut Michael López-Alegría.
Watch on this page or on Facebook Live on the National Air and Space Museum and STEM in 30 Facebook pages.
We’ll be hosting an Air and Space Live Chat on Facebook Live every Thursday at 1 pm EDT until the Museum reopens. Each week we’ll feature a different expert to answer questions from kids, students, and air and space enthusiasts.
We rely on the generous support of donors, sponsors, members, and other benefactors to share the history and impact of aviation and spaceflight, educate the public, and inspire future generations. With your help, we can continue to preserve and safeguard the world’s most comprehensive collection of artifacts representing the great achievements of flight and space exploration.
