Watching Edward Higgins White, II emerge from the Gemini IV capsule for America's first extravehicular activity fills me with a sense of pride in our space program. Thank you for sharing this documentary.

Why the bootrs of Apollo 11 mission was so large, and the boots of Mercury had braids. Wasn't the mercury suits 100% presurized, I mean not 100% proof of any air to scape the suit?

As I understand it, Apollo suits were very insulated against both heat and cold as were Gemini EVA suits to a lesser degree. Mercury had a pressure suit similar to those used in the high altitude jets like the U2. Not a true space suit as we know them today. It was more for emergency decompression situations than anything.
