Here’s a live feed of the two astronauts working outside the ISS. As the YouTube video notes:
On Friday, Oct. 18 starting at about 7:50 a.m. EDT, NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir will venture outside the International Space Station for a spacewalk. The duo will exit the station’s Quest airlock in their U.S. spacesuits to replace a power controller that failed over the weekend.
One big step for womankind!
It looks a lot more like work than a walk. Bring your screw guns in space.
Couldn’t resist – I’m sorry

I think the folksinger Phranc said it best:
Chalk one up for the sisterhood.
May the Force be with you all.
(or preferably, may all the Fields be in your favour!)
There doesn’t seem to be much walking, otherwise totally absorbing.
I for one could never perform such a task and either way, I have no ambition to ever fly into space. Is there anyone as brave as an astronaut? To me, the answer is ‘no’.
Spacewalks look like tons of fun. If I went out through the airlock, I’d be like a little kid playing in the dirt. I’d never return.
Ok since no one has said it, I guess it’s on me….it’s the first unmanned space walk!
Heeheeheee. I crack me up.
