From Tom's Astronomy Blog:
I’m watching a seem[ing]ly very dangerous spacewalk on NASA TV. Two Cosmonauts are removing a pyrobolt, one of those bolts that explode to separate. This one is on the Soyuz capsule attached to the ISS. They think this will fix the problem the Soyuz has had with the past two dangerous landings. This is pretty tense!
It’s loose. . . .
The spacewalkers are ISS Commander Sergei Volkov and Flight Engineer Oleg Kononenko.
“Thank god” says one of the spacewalkers as they get the bolt into a blast proof box — very dramatic and amazing video!
Official information about the walk is provided by NASA.
Didn't I hear a lady talking? Because her voice sounded SO much like the weird lady's voice that sometimes comes on the weather channel!
That is crazy - in this day and age, being in space is still just crazy and fascinating to me!
I was watching NASA yesterday! But only because I have subscribed to the Big Brother 10 feeds and they are testing the feeds with NASA and other stuff.
i just love that you put that clip up here. poppy rocks!
