Part 2 of our Humanity in Space series deals with the science,
technology, and history of the spacewalk. From the first-ever
spacewalk in 1965 by Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov to the first American
astronaut Ed White, spacewalks were all about getting out in space
and giving it a show in the early days.
I try and walk through some fo the major milestones in spacewalks,
while also learning about the science that goes into making a
successful one.
Plus, dive deep into the training the astronauts go through before
walking in space and hear from retired astronaut Nicole Stott about
training for her spacewalk, and what it was actually like floating
outside the ISS high above the Earth.
