Daring spacewalkers admire the view
A key test of a daring yet wobbly spacewalking technique that could be used someday to repair space shuttle heat shields worked well yesterday and got good reviews from two astronauts from the shuttle Discovery, which probably won’t need quick fixes, Nasa officials said.
The repair simulation put them at the end of an oscillating, 100-foot combination of a robotic arm and an extension pole that British astronaut Piers Sellers said made him feel “like a bug on the end of a fishing rod here”.
