About this video
What can I say about this extravehicular activity (EVA). These sort of activity done by an astronaut or cosmonaut outside a spacecraft beyond the Earth's appreciable atmosphere. The term most commonly applies to a spacewalk made outside a craft orbiting Earth (such as the International Space Station). On March 18, 1965, Alexei Leonov became the first human to perform a spacewalk, exiting the capsule during the Voskhod 2 mission for 12 minutes and 9 seconds. The term also applied to lunar surface exploration (commonly known as moonwalks) performed by six pairs of American astronauts in the Apollo program from 1969 to 1972. On July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to perform a moonwalk, outside his lunar lander on Apollo 11 for 2 hours and 31 minutes. On the last three Moon missions astronauts also performed deep-space EVAs on the return to Earth, to retrieve film canisters from the outside of the spacecraft. Astronauts Pete Conrad, Joseph Kerwin, and Paul Weitz also used EVA in 1973 to repair launch damage to Skylab, the United States' first space station.<br /><br />Do not attempt this type of performance at home or without proper training anywhere else.<br /><br />Special thanks to Mr. Ishtiaque Chowdhury & you who watch my videos.<br /><br />Kindly Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2BarrU9 <br />Follow me Facebook on: https://bit.ly/2X9EFcb <br />Follow me on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3ewRtPT <br />Follow me on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2AeyQ4f
