EVA Trivia
I thought this that I just found at collectSPACE was an interesting bit of trivia. Mike Fincke is the first American to perform an EVA who was born after the first EVA was conducted. Leonov and White both conducted their EVAs in 1965, Fincke was born on March 14, 1967. I had hear that Fincke also now holds the record for the shortest-ever EVA at 14 minutes, but upon doing some research, it looks like Leonov had him beat by a good 2 minutes. Perhaps Fincke holds the record for the shortest American space walk, but I'm too lazy to actually verify that. I can't imagine who would have a shorter one, though.
