 Space and Art I have always been fascinated by space. As I grew up and began learning more about the different aspects of space, I wanted to experience some of the beauty of it myself. I especially enjoyed looking at the stars at night in the middle of nowhere without a single dot of artificial light in sight and also searching for constellations. This weeks topic on space and art particularly stands out to me as I had done research on the first space walk in the past. The first spacewalk was conducted by Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov, a Soviet and Russian who was talented in many aspects. Voskhod 2 was a space mission launched by the Soviets in 1965 with commander Pavel Belyayev and pilot Leonov. Leonov left the spacecraft on the first day of the launch on March 18, 1965 and began performing the first space walk that lasted around ten to twelve minutes.  Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov Not only did Leonov perform the first space walk, but he also sketched the first art piece created in space.
