On March 18, 1965, Soviet cosmonaut Aleksei A. Leonov was the first man ever to walk in space when he exited the spacecraft on a tether and floated for approximately 12 minutes, 9 seconds outside the capsule. He was the pilot of the Voskhod 2 mission, part of the Soviet Union's attempt in competition with the US to reach the moon.
