The two British Starmen. in The odd entries from life …….

The British Starman, one.

‘Tim Peake spacewalk ends early!’

Our reporting of today’s spacewalk from ISS seems it a one man event, I suppose we have been slow getting into manned space activities, by now space is a necessity industry!

It is good to see a British Astronaut in space with the Union Flag on his spacesuit, as spacewalks go this one was a very good, all in involved were working up to their training; as an expert on ‘Stargazing Live 2016’ said ‘Leaks don’t get better’

Tim Kopra was the lead Astronaut on the spacewalk with two spacewalks behind him, Tim Peake was on his first spacewalk, Kopra kept calm with water leaking into his helmet, there was a chance of drawing in space. Peake was able to tack over lead Astronaut, so it fell to him to close down the spacewalk while Kopra made his way to the airlock.

With the spacewalk cut to four hours and forty three minutes, the main job of replacing a failed electrical box was finished despite the early end of the spacewalk
