Do any pictures exist of Mike Collins outside Gemini X during either of his EVAs? |

Collins mentions in "Carrying The Fire" that the film containing the photos of his EVA floated out of the capsule at a later point in the mission (either a subsequent EVA or when they were dumping trash, I forget which). |

There are a two possible reasons; one is that Collins lost a camera I think during the EVA to Agena 8, and that Young was preoccupied with station keeping and trying to avoid the difficulties of Cernan's Gemini 9 EVA. |

Lost film and a camera weren't the only things that went missing. It was recorded at the time of the flight that a British experiment went missing presumably thrown out with the trash. Does anyone have further information about this? |

Michael Collins saved from Agena GATV-8 a meteorite detector with 11x8 mm microfilm of a letter written by NASA Manned Spacecraft Center director Robert Gilruth and Gemini program manager Charles Mathews to NASA's Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight George Mueller. Originally David Scott should rescue it during an EVA from Gemini 8. This microfilm was found in the estate of Matthews.  |

On the subject of Gemini spacewalks, is it true that there are no photos or films at all of Mike Collins' spacewalk on Gemini 10?Editor's note: Threads merged.
