NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Terry Virts have undertaken their second spacewalk outside the International Space Station.
Wednesday’s spacewalk is the second in five days and in all three spacewalks are planned in just over a week to prepare the orbiting lab for future American crew capsules.
Yahoo News reported that Wilmore and Virts have installed two more power and data cables, for a two-day total of 364 feet and they plan to route 764 feet of cable next Sunday.
Wilmore, the space station’s commander, stopped for a minute to savour the view of earth. “I don’t think I’ve seen blue that blue,” he observed as the complex soared 260 miles above the Caribbean.
