Astronaut to Attempt Spacewalk Record

Two residents of the International Space Station will take a spacewalk tomorrow to try to jam a stuck antenna on a docked cargo ship back into place. The spacewalk will set a US record of over 65 hours spacewalk experience. During the spacewalk, the astronauts will “use a hammer and a chisel to try to pound the antenna into place”. Precision engineering at its very best I’m sure you’ll agree.

When you think of a space station that’s currently in space, a hammer and a chisel are not usually the first tools to come to mind. Whatever gets the job done!
