First Spacewalk Successful for Drew, Bowen

[s200077]

Only 15k hits?? THERE REPAIRING A VEHICLE IN SPACE!! HOW ****ING COOL IS THAT!?!

[geomodelrailroader]

Astro_Tim has to call the shots from the ground instead of from inside the station because a week before launch when they were fixing the helium burst disk he flipped his bike and had to have knee surgery so now he is the EVA Capcom and Steve Bowan is EV1 instead of Steve being the Capcom.

right corner on 11:45 is that a falling star?

[ThePrayingAlien]

I guess they ARE popping up like potatoes hehe !

[TheBarbie1969]

so exciting

[cmsahe]

Do Russians do spacewalks too? I like their Salyut era spacesuits.

[nshungnbung]

wow. I don't see any trolls commenters here. What a nice place! Love to read those comments where people are explaining the things that others don't understand. <3

[sovopstar]

why can't you see the stars? also if a small piece of debris hit the astronaut would it tear the suit?

[grywacz]

@sovopstar You can't see stars... because it's day and they are too faint in comparison to other objects?

[JackRaidGames]

@sovopstar It depends on the size, sharpness and speed of the debris. Say if it were the size of a large pebble, was sharp, and was travelling at a considerable speed and it directly hit the astronaut it's most likely that the suit would tear, and the astronaut would be dead within minutes if there were no help for him. If the rock hit him in his faceplate and spashed it, not only would he begin to suffocate but the rays of the sun might burn him. Thankfully, there have been no such incidents.

[hackneysaregreat]

Enjoyed every minute of this absolutely awesome video.

A spacewalk is in every imaginable and unimaginable aspect an absolutely great event.

Thanks NASA for this great video!

[aivar]

What is the speed they are rotating around the earth? They do nothing, but ir looks like that earth is rotating so fast, wow, spectacular view.

[MaxMSC97]

@aivar

Approx 7.5 km\s (4.6 mps)

[TheDuseanmandic]

So mind boggling, it's almost unreal

[grybold]

Awesome! Thanks for posting the whole 30 minute spacewalk. This was awesome to watch.

[runwax]

whoo... I wanna wake up like this in space just one time !!

[Amiduffer]

Is there ever any danger of a spacewalker suffering from vertigo?

[HumanTargetAus]

wow, what a job...what a job

:P

[yourjudgeandjury]

@AdamBMorris And there is a GM trademarked logo on Robonaut 2, a patent on the space suites, design patents on the shuttle, etc. etc.....means nothing. Besides it is Fair Use when less than 30 seconds or insignicant to the scope and content of the video. Learn copyright laws before putting yourself out to be made a fool.

@yourjudgeandjury

I thought the ":P" emoticon would suffice to convey that I was making a joke but I guess not

[cloudsat7326]

wow imma miss the shuttles :(

[derekxnl]

We are so unbelievably lucky to have the opportunity to see Earth from space.

[kenhes]

20:53 What's that white thing shooting down on the right edge? 

[pipkin1973]

Thank u all for ur replies! Ur all far more informed. Thank u

[JayJayAbels]

Simply amazing! Thanx NASA for sharing this footage!

[tashenaevers]

920s what the hell,,I guess it was ice right?

[ElementHTTP]

You need HD cameras or videos to show how epic is to be in space . Its good for public relationships too :)

[kamoamo]

11:45 ??

[maksphoto78]

What are those round dots on the modules? The ones with black center and white around them.

[MrAnalpfropfen]

200nd human in space - and that was only the beginning ;)

[TFPFP]

Good job by all! Well done, well done. : )

[maksphoto78]

Wow, that music would wake me right away :(

[BuschTukkerMan]

Awesome video guys!

[snowinowen4]

Good job he had the music, i bet it's terrifying sometimes, but at the same time beautiful because you can see the Earth in all it's colour, but being outside to spacecraft must be scary knowing that if you make one false move, you may be floating away in to the distant voids of the unknown...

[trile666]

I WANNA DO THIS ! ! !

[pipkin1973]

Dumb question alert: the ISS is traveling at thousands of mph... How come the astronauts dont fly off??

[MrVielanda]

@pipkin1973 They fly with it...orbital speed, no engines ;-)

[MewFushisDad]

@pipkin1973 Because they are traveling right along with the ISS.

[tipoo0189]

@pipkin1973 well they're attached to it... and since there's no friction they keep the same speed of the ISS

[jani963]

@pipkin1973 The astronauts themselves are also travelling at the same velocity as the ISS. It's not because there are attached to the iss through a rope!! The tether is there to keep the astronauts from floating away if they accidentally let go of the station. (This does NOT mean they are handing on to the station like a water skier or something!!!) Their inertia keeps everything going at the same velocity while the relative velocity between the station and astronauts is what we see(as movement)

[blazontroll]

@pipkin1973 well first off there is basically 0 drag in space this means that if you pushed yourself off the shuttle at a certain velocity you would continue at that velocity at the same direction not counting gravitational influences. They don't fly off as they and the ISS are moving at the same velocity just like the earth is moving around the sun but we don't fall off the earth, this theory follows newtonian physic rather than i believe aristolian physics.

[AlexandruUrsachi]

These people have the coolest career on this World, and beyond it :)

[richsanch74]

filling a vessel with the vacuum of space. LOL, an empty bottle filled with nothing, i want one!

[MrJonnySpace]

The two did really well. Bravo!

[Gonardia2nd]

looks like the most fun job inside of saturn

Nasa could you please post helmet cam highlights?

[mark82gig]

Bravo Paolo, you're a good tailor!

[Xris375]

Nice view :)

[RoryM07]

Excellent work Steve and Al on your first EVA of this mission.

Always a pleasure to watch you up there :)

All the best.
