The first selfie in space by Buzz Aldrin, in the Gemini 12 (1966)
In 1966, astronaut Buzz Aldrin took an orbital mission on Gemini 12 and performed the world’s first successful spacewalk. The mission of the Gemini program was to show that astronauts can effectively work outside of spacecraft - which paved the way to the first moon landing in 1969. The flight lasted a total of 5 hours and 30 minutes. The spacecraft is now on display at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago.
Winston Churchill was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945. That term went so well, that Churchill decided on a sequel to this term and became Prime Minister again from 1951 to 1955. Churchill's big claim to fame was leading Britain to victory in World War II.
Known for looking like a bulldog, and having a big appetite for Scotch, here's a photo of young Churchill from back in 1895. He was a second lieutenant in the 4th Queen's Own Hussars regiment of the British Army and he earned a wage of £150 a year. Later that same year, he traveled to Cuba where he observe the county's war of independences.
