DO YOU REMEMBER JULIANE KOEPCKE THE 17 YEARS OLD WHEN HER PLANE FLYING FROM LIMA, PERU TO THE AMAZON CRASHED

 Juliane Koepcke was 17 years old when her plane flying from Lima, Peru to the Amazon crashed - leaving no survivors but her.


The plane was hit by lightning and broke into pieces, and - still strapped to her chair - Juliane fell 10,000 feet down into the middle of the rainforest. The teenager spent the next 11 days in survival mode, tending to her wounds with gasoline and eating sweets from the pockets of a dead passenger she found while walking. 

She walked for days before coming across a small hut where three missionaries found her and eventually took her to the hospital by boat. Out of 91 passengers on board, including her mother, Juliane was the sole survivor. At just 17, she survived 11 days in the Peruvian rainforest alone.

During the Gemini 4 mission on June 3, 1965, Ed White became the first American to conduct a spacewalk.


The spacewalk started at 3:45 p.m. EDT on the third orbit when White opened the hatch and used the hand-held maneuvering oxygen-jet gun to push himself out of the capsule. 

The EVA started over the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii and lasted 23 minutes, ending over the Gulf of Mexico. Initially, White propelled himself to the end of the 8-meter tether and back to the spacecraft three times using the hand-held gun. After the first three minutes the fuel ran out and White maneuvered by twisting his body and pulling on the tether. In this photograph taken by Commander James McDivitt early in the EVA over a cloud-covered Pacific Ocean, the maneuvering gun is visible in White's right hand.
