Live Now Space Exploration | Christina Koch and Jessica Meir step outside the ISS | SPACE-WALK

Thank you, my friend SSG Robert Mark Odom for posting the news "NASA made history Friday [October 18, 2019] morning when astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir stepped outside the International Space Station to replace a faulty battery charger.
The all-female spacewalk — the first of its kind “in human history,” the agency said — began at 7:38 a.m. Eastern time as the two American astronauts set their suits to battery power mode.
Koch was first to venture out of the ISS with a red tether attached to her suit.
Meir soon followed, carrying a tool bag as she made her way out of the hatch at 7:49 a.m. The spacewalk was originally scheduled for 5-and-a-half hours, but the crews successfully completed their main task and the mission was extended to more than seven hours so the astronauts could perform some additional jobs.
The historic float outside the orbiting laboratory into the vacuum of space came several months after another all-female spacewalk was canceled because NASA did not have enough spacesuits in the right size. And it’s being heralded as a huge step forward for the agency at a time when NASA continues to work to highlight the contributions of women."

"Live Now |SPACE - Astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir step out of the International Space Station for a second attempt at the first all-female spacewalk. Koch had been scheduled to perform a spacewalk with Anne McClain in March, but it was cancelled because they didn't have the right sizes of spacesuits on the ISS. Koch and Meir will be installing new batteries on the ISS"
