Russian cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, the first human to ever walk in space, died at the age of 85 in Moscow.

About:

On March 18, 1965, Alexei Leonov created history after he exited the Voskhod 2 spacecraft capsule, tethered by a 16 feet long cable, and floated in space for a duration of 12 minutes and 9 seconds.
The mission came four years after Yuri Gagarin became the first human to ever journey into space, a major milestone in the space race between the US and the Soviets.
