Space Walk Aborted

[Eric Mc]

A fairly dangerous situation developed the day before yesterday when a spacewalker had a problem with water leaking into his space helmet. Around a litre of water built up and he had difficulty in both seeing and hearing. The spacewalk was abandoned.

This must have been pretty serious and one of the scariest incidents to occur on a spacewalk for many, many years.

There was no coverage in the mainstream media.

Read about that earlier. Must have been a worry for the poor sap in the suit. There has been some coverage in the media, by the way. I read it via a tweet sending me to the daily mail.
