Рикки и Дрю отлично отработали, Выход длился 6 часов и 10 минут. Из моего „наблюдательного пункта“ хорошо было видно только @Astro_Feustel. Да, это именно его ноги были на предыдущей фотографии, многие угадали 😉 pic.twitter.com/8OfsLaTqoA
А еще я хочу показать, как проходит сопровождение Выхода внутри станции. Как видите, в работе задействован весь экипаж, а не только два астронавта, которые работают в скафандрах.
