WALK IN SPACE
Pictorial Failure
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) HOUSTON (Texas), July 24. Pictures of the walk In space by the astronaut, Michael Collins during the Gemini X flight failed to come out when technicians processed films taken during the flight, it has been disclosed.
His fellow astronaut, John Young, said he aimed a 16mm movie camera at Collins and expected that some “great pictures” would result But nowhere among the 800 ft of movie film and 360 still photographs was there any picture of the historic space walk. Photographs taken by the Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, last year in the first walk in space have been published in Moscow in the magazine “Aviation and Cosmonautics," the Soviet news agency Tass reported yesterday.
