The complex flew more than 400 miles above the nocturnal Pacific. “” Good, it’s dark outside, ‘said Barley shortly before he went out.

Barley and Wiseman have done some minor maintenance outside the ISS. In order to do that safely in a vacuum have Barley and Wiseman ad nauseam practiced who does what when. The European Space Agency calls it a ‘precise choreography.’

Barley is the ninth European who has made a spacewalk. The Dutchman Andre Kuipers does not belong to that group.

The trips into space are not without dangers. The last European spacewalker, Italian Luca Parmitano, last year nearly drowned in his space when a water leak. He could see almost nothing and hear and struggled to bring himself. Safety

“The water covered my nose, a horrible feeling I aggravations by shaking in a vain attempt with my head get out the water. The top of my helmet is full of water and I do not even know if I with the next breath my lungs fill with air or liquid, ” Parmitano wrote later.
