Soviet cosmonaut, Alexi Leonov became the first man to walk in space on March 18, 1965. He was outside the spacecraft for 12 minutes and nine seconds, connected to the craft by a 5.35-meter tether. At the end of the spacewalk, Leonov's spacesuit had inflated in the vacuum of space to the point where he could not re-enter the airlock. He opened a valve to allow some of the suit's pressure to bleed off, and was barely able to get back inside the capsule.
After his Vostok 2 mission, Leonov began training for a mission that would send the first cosmonaut around the moon. When the United States successfully sent Apollo 8 around the moon, Leonov's mission was changed to make the Soviet Union's first attempt to land a man on the moon. However, this mission was also scrubbed after repeated mishaps of the proposed launch vehicle. Leonov later commanded Soyuz 19, which docked with the last Apollo mission on July 17, 1975. It was the first joint US/USSR spaceflight.
