Astronaut to Attempt Spacewalk Record

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the moonwalk-record-still-strong dept.

MattSparkes writes "Two residents of the International Space Station will take a spacewalk tomorrow to try to jam a stuck antenna on a docked cargo ship back into place. The spacewalk will set a US record of over 65 hours spacewalk experience. During the spacewalk, the astronauts will "use a hammer and a chisel to try to pound the antenna into place". Precision engineering at its very best I'm sure you'll agree."

    If this were a Soviet mission, they'd use a Hammer and Sickle
