US astronauts were successful today in repairing a torn solar panel during an unprecedented, risky space walk to ensure an adequate power supply at the International Space Station.
Astronaut Scott Parazynsky spent more than four hours attached to the end of a robotic boom knitting together the damaged panels with makeshift wire "cufflinks" to rectify the problems caused by a snagged wire when the panels unfurled.
Thanks for posting this.
You know, this Astronaut risked his life to do this. If something had gone wrong with his suit, it would have taken a long time to get him back to the inside. In my humble opinion, he is a very brave hero.
