RME0YA0T–Jun. 11, 1969 - ''Apollo 16'' is not at Cape Kennedy...nor in Houston, Texas, but in Munich-Obermenzing! This sign humorously refers to the launch of the Apollo rocket ''zum Mond schie?t''(to the moon). The residents of ''Apolloweg 16'' have no intention of flight though! This street name probably has more to do with the Greek god than the American space program!

White was attached to the spacecraft by a 25 foot umbilical line and a 23-ft. tether line, both wrapped in gold tape to form one cord. In his right hand White carries a Hand Held Self Maneuvering Unit (HHSMU) which is used to move about the weightless environment of space. The visor of his helmet

RFJH021T–An unofficial motto of flight research in the 1940s and 1950s was 'higher and faster.' By the late 1950s the last frontier of that goal was hypersonic flight (Mach 5+) to the edge of space. It would require a huge leap in aeronautical technology, life support systems and flight planning. The North American X-15 rocket plane was built to meet that challenge. It was designed to fly at speeds up to Mach 6, and altitudes up to 250,000 ft. The aircraft went on to reach a maximum speed of Mach 6.7 and a maximum altitude of 354,200 ft.
