Canadian to do 2nd spacewalk

Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk completed his second spacewalk on Thursday, spending nearly seven hours in the vacuum of space as he worked to upgrade the International Space Station’s power system. Kutryk and NASA astronaut Anil Menon stepped back into the space station at the end of a six-hour, 59 minute spacewalk that ended at 3:35 p.m. ET. NASA astronaut Nichole Stilwell, who served as spacewalk communicator from Houston, congratulated the crew, which also included NASA’s Luke Delaney and Jessica Watkins inside the station. “You all showed us what the best of humanity looks like, executing one of the most difficult and dangerous things humans do, and making it look easy,” she said in a message that could be heard in NASA’s live broadcast. Kutryk, in his first message upon returning to the space station, praised and thanked the teamwork that made the spacewalk possible.
