Two NASA astronauts successfully completed a spacewalk on Thursday, marking their first joint excursion outside the International Space Station after being stuck there for almost eight months. Commander Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore ventured out to remove a broken antenna and inspect the station's exterior for any surviving microbes that may have traveled from Earth.
Despite encountering initial difficulties in unbolting the malfunctioning antenna, the astronauts managed to detach it after nearly four hours of work. Mission Control closely monitored the operation to ensure no parts floated away during the removal process.
