NASA's 2 stuck astronauts take their first spacewalk together
NASA’s two stuck astronauts are taking their first spacewalk together, exiting the International Space Station almost eight months after moving in. Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore floated out Thursday to perform maintenance work and wipe down the station’s exterior. The pair expected to stay just a week when they arrived at the space station last June. But their brand new ride, Boeing’s Starliner capsule, encountered so much trouble that NASA decided to return it empty. That left the two test pilots in orbit until SpaceX can bring them home. That won’t happen until late March or early April.
