From our Archives: Today's Highlights, March 18, 2006

On this date in 1965, cosmonaut Aleksei Leonov took the first walk in space. The pilot of Voskhod 2, Leonov spent about 12 minutes outside the spaceship, walking up to five meters (16.4 ft.) away from the craft. While he was outside, Leonov's spacesuit had inflated so much that he was unable to reenter the capsule until after he had released some of the air. After overcoming a few other problems, the crew's capsule landed back on Earth in the Ural Mountains; they waited overnight for a rescue team, surrounded by wolves.
