It was already hard enough to stop perusing Terry Virts’ tweets from space.
This week, the Baltimore-born astronaut provided a new obsession by releasing GoPro footage of a spacewalk.
Virts equipped the camera to his helmet during EVAs (aka Extravehicular Activities, aka Spacewalks) when he and fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore stepped off the International Space Station on February 25 and March 1.
According to NASA, here’s what the astronauts were doing:
The EVAs are in support of the long-planned ISS reconfiguration from its current configuration, which was designed to support visiting Space Shuttles, to its new configuration optimised for future visiting commercial crew and cargo vehicles.
Cool, NASA, but you left out: spinning, seeing tools float in zero-gravity, watching legs dangle in the abyss and amazing views of that planet off in the distance otherwise known as Earth.
Here’s the extended version. Enjoy:
