Something about Space Walk

Spacewalks technically called extravehicular activity or EVA are the finest examples of human innovation encourage. It is any activity done by an astronaut or cosmonaut outside of a spacecraft beyond the Earth's appreciable atmosphere.



Here are 5 incredible aspects about a spacewalk according to NASA:

5. You might get in trouble with a car for driving over 60 to 70 miles per hour; now matching going 17227 miles an hour, that's the average speed of the International Space Station astronauts get out of their protective environment inside the space station to perform a spacewalk.

4. The temperatures that astronauts face during a spacewalk could range from 250 degrees Fahrenheit to -250 degrees Fahrenheit depending on their position. What's the temperature like in your neck of the woods today?

3. For typical spacewalk astronauts may utilize anywhere from 70 to 110 tools.

2. It takes about 45 minutes to put on a spacesuit; before heading out the astronauts brief pure oxygen for more than an hour. BTW, putting on a species called donning and taking it off is called doffing.

1. Susan J Helms and James S Voss hold the current record at 8 hours 56 minutes for the longest spacewalk. How do you like the idea being out in space from most nine hours traveling at thousands of miles per hour?

As for writing, it reminds me about the movie Gravity. A lot of people like it, but it's hilarious to me somehow. For example, Stone is sent spinning into outer space after the debris hits the Explorer. Kowalsky uses his MMU to find her and bring her back to the shuttle. But in real life, during spacewalks, astronauts are required to wear a SAFER (Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue), which is a more basic version of the MMU. It is intended for emergencies only, and Stone would not have been repairing the Hubble without one. She may not have been able to get back all the way back to the Explorer with it, but it would have been her first line of defense against the prospect of drifting off forever.


That's all I can tell about space walk, and the critique for the movie Gravity: nah....
