295-View of Earth during a Space Walk Outside the ISS

Space shuttle Challenger, Bruce McCandless II was further out than anyone had ever been before.

Watch NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik “Space Walk” with a GoPro camera on Oct. 20, 2017 during a spacewalk outside the International Space Station.

Bresnik reflected on this quiet moment, “Sometimes on a #spacewalk, you just have to take a moment to enjoy the beauty of our planet Earth. This Go-Pro footage is from our spacewalk where Joe Acaba and I refurbished the Canadarm2 robotic arm and the Dextre robotic arm extension.”

Putting on a spacesuit takes 45 minutes, including the time it takes to put on the special undergarments that help keep astronauts cool. After putting on the spacesuit, to adapt to the lower pressure maintained in the suit, the astronaut must spend a little more than an hour breathing pure oxygen before going outside the pressurized module.
