Alexei Leonov
    Once again, the ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] is camping out at her Dad's house tonight and she sends a BIG Radio Wave to everybody.
    Fifty-one years ago on this date -- March 18, 1965 -- the Russian Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov was the first human to step out into space and perform a "space walk".
    This first space walk mission, named Voskhod 2 (Восхо́д 2), consisted of Alexei Leonov as the navigator/spacewalker and Pavel Belyayev as the commander/pilot.
    So how much do you know about this historic space milestone?
    Please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each of the following question  
    Ok, secure your space helmentcheck for leaks, and hook up your tether -- and watch that first step -- it's a doooozzzy!
++ Tripping the Light Fantastic! ++

        B. 18 minutes, or
