EVA was originally scheduled for Gemini 5. I believe it was to be a "stand-up" EVA at most.
NASA moved it up to GT-4 (full EVA) after Leonov walked from Voskhod 2 in March, '65. |

So,Tom Stafford would have had the first.I have read that Wally Schirra wished a short durate mission,and did not want an EVA for GT-6.Therefore the first EVA could have been in GT-8 mission. |
