Alexei Leonov did not feel as if he was in motion as he clambered on to
the outside of the spacecraft, 500km above the Earth. But in reality, he
was hurtling around our planet at speeds that are many times faster
than a jet aircraft. The vast, vivid geography of our planet stretched
out before him - a giant canvas of contrasting colours and textures. He
was the first of his species to see our planet in such glorious aspect.
