Expedition 26 Cosmonauts Spacewalk for Science Gear

Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 26 Flight Engineers Dmitry Kondratyev and Oleg Skripochka conducted their second spacewalk in less than four weeks Feb. 16, 2011, to install and retrieve scientific equipment on the Russian segment of the orbital laboratory. The spacewalk was staged out of the Pirs Docking Compartment airlock. It was the second spacewalk in Kondratyev's career, and the third for Skripochka as well as the 153rd spacewalk performed in support of station assembly and maintenance.

@hackneysaregreat It would be very difficult to make a 5 hr long video and put it on Youtube :) You can watch the spacewalks in their entirety live on NASA website. Some people record many parts of the spacewalk and upload it to Youtube, so you can do a little search for them if you like.

Why do you at NASA do again and again such extremely short (or non at all) video's of 5 hour long (or more) very interesting spacewalks that are worth every minute to watch, and give a full extensive report of EVERY (often boring) press conference?

That is not fair towards the astronauts and us as "space-lovers".
