  8. The first all-female spacewalk in history did not happen until October 2019, fifty-eight years after Yuri Gagarin orbited Earth — and an earlier all-female attempt seven months before was reassigned because only one medium spacesuit torso was ready on the station

  9. 👨‍🚀🚀 In 1984 #NASA #astronaut Bruce McCandless II became the first person in #history to fly untethered in #space using a nitrogen-powered jet pack.

    He navigated over 90 meters (300 ft) from the #SpaceShuttle Challenger to demonstrate how #humans can move independently in a vacuum. The flight provided data on orbital maneuvering that helped engineers develop systems for satellite retrieval and repairs.

  14. Dafydd Williams: Canada's Spacewalker 👨‍🚀

    Dr. Dafydd Williams completed two Space Shuttle missions, STS-90 in 1998 and STS-118 in 2007. Eventually completing three EVAs (Extravehicular Activities) across the missions totaling over 17 hours setting a Canadian record for total number of spacewalks. A medical doctor, he conducted life science research on the human body's adaptation to space. #Canada #DafyddWilliams #Spacewalk #Science 🇨🇦

  18. #PhotoOfTheDay: America’s First #Spacewalk

    NASA astronaut Ed White, pilot of the Gemini IV mission, floats in space on June 3, 1965, while performing the first spacewalk by an American. As White floated outside the spacecraft, he used a Hand-Held Maneuvering Unit, informally called a “zip gun.”

    The device, seen in White’s right hand in this image, expelled pressurized oxygen to provide thrust for controlling his movements outside the capsule.

  21. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Extravehicular activity (EVA)

    is any activity done by an #astronaut in outer space outside a spacecraft. In the absence of a breathable Earthlike atmosphere, the astronaut is completely reliant on a #space suit for environmental support. EVA includes spacewalks and lunar or planetary surface exploration (commonly known from 1969 to 1972 as moonwalks). In a stand-up EVA (SEVA), an astronaut stands through an open hatch but does not fully leave the spacecraft. EVAs have been conducted by the Soviet Union/Russia, the United States, and China; astronauts from Canada, Japan, Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, and the European Space Agency have also participated in EVAs conducted by those nations.

    On March 18, 1965, Alexei Leonov became the first human to perform a #spacewalk exiting the Voskhod 2 capsule for 12 minutes and 9 seconds. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to perform a moonwalk, outside his lunar lander on Apollo 11 for 2 hours and 31 minutes. In 1984, Svetlana Savitskaya became the first woman to perform a spacewalk, conducting EVA outside the Salyut 7 space station for 3 hours and 35 minutes. On the last three Moon missions, astronauts also performed deep-space EVAs on the return to Earth, to retrieve film canisters from the outside of the spacecraft. American Astronauts Pete Conrad, Joseph Kerwin, and Paul Weitz also used EVA in 1973 to repair launch damage to Skylab, the United States' first space station.

    EVAs may be either tethered (the astronaut is connected to the spacecraft; oxygen and electrical power can be supplied through an umbilical cable; no propulsion is needed to return to the spacecraft), or untethered. Untethered spacewalks were only performed on three missions in 1984 using the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU), and on a flight test in 1994 of the Simplified Aid For EVA Rescue (SAFER), a safety device worn on tethered U.S. EVAs.

  22. In a highway service station
    Over the month of June
    Was a photograph of the earth
    Taken coming back from the moon
    And you couldn't see a city
    On that marbled bowling ball
    Or a forest or a highway
    Or me here, least of all
