To mark the 60th anniversary since the first U.S. spacewalk, we've compiled a collection of 10 awesome images captured during the first-ever U.S walk, as well as subsequent walks that have taken place over the years.
1. First up, Ed White during his historic spacewalk on June 3, 1965. For his safety, the record-setting astronaut was secured to the spacecraft by a 25-foot umbilical line and tether during his 20-minute adventure.
2. NASA astronaut Scott Parazynski appears to wave to the camera while attached to a foot restraint at the end of the Space Shuttle's Orbiter Boom Sensor System during a spacewalk in 2007.
3. NASA's John B. Herrington, seen at the far left of the image, during a walk outside the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 2002.
4. NASA astronaut Suni Williams pictured secured to the space station's Canadarm2 robotic arm, with the orbital facility's solar arrays behind her during a walk in 2025.
5. With a dramatic cloudy backdrop, astronaut Robert L. Curbeam, Jr. can be seen during a spacewalk at the space station in 2006.
6. Bruce McCandless II is seen approaching his maximum distance from the Space Shuttle Challenger in an extraordinary spacewalk in 1984 that saw him become the first astronaut to maneuver in space untethered. McCandles was trialing a nitrogen-propelled, hand-controlled backpack device called the Manned Maneuvering Unit.
7. Reid Wiseman takes part in a 2014 spacewalk at the space station some 250 miles above Earth. During the 6-hour, 13-minute spacewalk, Wiseman and ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst worked outside the station's Quest airlock, relocating a failed cooling pump to external stowage and installing gear that provides back up power to external robotics equipment.
8. NASA's Christina Koch snaps a 'space selfie' with Earth behind her. She and fellow NASA astronaut Jessica Meir worked outside the ISS for more than seven hours during the first-ever all-woman spacewalk in 2019.
9. American astronaut Dale A. Gardner gets up close and personal with the spinning WESTAR VI satellite during a mission in 1984. Gardner used a special device to stabilize the communications spacecraft sufficiently so that it could be captured and placed in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle Discovery for return to Earth.
10. Astronauts Carl Meade and Mark Lee during a spacewalk in 1994. Lee can be seen attached to the Space Shuttle's robotic arm.

SerpDomains Launches New Marketplace Platform for Premium Aged Domains
SerpDomains's newly launched marketplace gives buyers SEO-vetted aged domains and connects sellers to 30,000+ active buyers. SerpDomains Launches New Marketplace Platform for Premium Aged Domains New York, NY , June 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SerpDomains has officially launched a new platform, evolving from a curated domain inventory provider into a full-fledged marketplace for buying and selling premium aged domains. Since its start in 2019, SerpDomains has helped marketers and investors acquire high-value domains free from spam and poor SEO performance. Now the new platform enhances that mission by giving both buyers and sellers a faster, easier, and more transparent way to transact. Previously operating as a buyer-only platform with a curated selection of quality SEO domains, the new SerpDomains marketplace allows aged domain owners to submit, list, and sell directly through the site. The result is a dynamic, seller-driven ecosystem that maintains the brand's reputation for quality by vetting every domain through a strict manual review process. Each domain must meet stringent SEO standards, including a clean backlink profile, proven historical performance, and clear niche relevance. SerpDomains The launch represents a major step forward for those seeking niche-relevant expired domains. Every listing on SerpDomains is backed by transparent SEO data, including detailed metrics, backlink analysis, and performance history. Buyers gain instant access to these insights, removing the guesswork traditionally involved in evaluating aged domains. Transactions are fast and frictionless, with ownership transfers typically completed within 24 hours and often in minutes. Sellers, on the other hand, benefit from fast onboarding, expert pricing insights, and direct exposure to SerpDomains' growing network of over 30,000 active buyers. The platform's private marketplace and newsletter channels offer unparalleled visibility for quality domain listings, allowing sellers to offload valuable assets efficiently. SerpDomains remains selective about what gets listed, preferring to work with domains that show clear SEO potential and historical trust. 'We built SerpDomains to cut through the noise,' said a company spokesperson. 'With our new platform, we're now empowering both buyers and sellers with a marketplace built on transparency, speed, and real value.' Another executive added, 'Our mission has always been to deliver aged domains that actually move the needle. This launch opens the door for sellers to reach qualified buyers and for buyers to find assets that rank and convert.' This evolution was driven by growing community demand and the increasing need for a trusted environment to transact valuable aged domains. As traditional domain marketplaces become overwhelmed with low-quality, irrelevant inventory, SerpDomains maintains a strict quality-over-quantity approach that ensures every listing meets professional SEO standards. Looking ahead, the company plans to introduce future enhancements, including automation in domain vetting, more advanced analytics for sellers, intuitive filtering options for buyers, and expanded visibility for listings. These features will support a wide range of users, from SEO and marketing agencies to brand builders, investors, and digital entrepreneurs. SerpDomains serves customers across the United States and internationally, helping them discover aged domains with real organic potential.
