I have only seen 1 photo of Cernan's Gemini walk. Do others exist? If so, where can you find them with enough resolution to enlarge to 8*10. |

Here are the photos that show Gene Cernan during his Gemini-9 EVA. They are S66-38063 through S66-38068. Unfortunately I only have lo-res versions, except the one you no doubt also have.Ed Hengeveld |

While we're on the topic, I read that a camera was lost during the Gemini 10 EVA.
Is there at least 1 photo of Mike Collins during his GT-10 spacewalk?
Thanks! |

The photos aren't great, but to be fair Cernan's spacewalk primarily involved heading to the back of the spacecraft to try the backpack. He wouldn't have been in sight of Stafford's window for very long at the start of the EVA, and on Cernan's return there were bigger concerns than snapping photos.For GT10 Collins managed to lose his camera entirely and Young apparently took no shots from inside the craft. Conrad's blurry shots of Gordon's GT11 EVA left a lot to be desired, so we really had to wait for GT12 and Lovell's crystal clear shots of Aldrin's EVA to get decent images of a spacewalk again. |

"There are no photos of Collins' EVA."This sounds like a job for artist like Ed, Alan Bean, and Michael Collins.  Mike Myer

Hmmmm...Cernan got a spacewalk and Stafford's photos were lousy. Collins got a spacewalk and Young didn't take any photos. Gordon got a spacewalk and Conrad's photos were lousy. Obviously, the astronauts who stayed inside were jealous of the astronauts who got an EVA and reacted by making sure there were no good photos. Now where have I heard this sort of crackpot theory before? |

Too bad Scott didn't get his spacewalk (on GT-8), we know Neil would have gotten some great shots!!! |
