NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore just made cosmic history 🌌! The duo, stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) for nearly eight months, completed their first spacewalk together on Thursday—and Williams set a new female astronaut record in the process.
Clad in bulky spacesuits, they tackled a grocery list of tasks: yanking off a broken antenna (after a very stubborn bolt fight 🔧) and swabbing the station’s exterior for space germs 🦠. 'Keep an eye out for floating debris,' Mission Control warned as the antenna finally broke free—420 km above Earth!
Williams, now the most experienced female spacewalker, joked: 'Guess we’re overachievers up here!' 🎉 The pair’s unexpected ISS 'extended stay' has turned into a masterclass in zero-grit resilience. Who needs gravity when you’ve got grit?
