HOUSTON, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- Space shuttle astronauts Mike Foreman and Robert Satcher Jr. whizzed through their first spacewalk of the STS-129 mission Thursday in 6 hours, 37 minutes.
The spacewalk started at 9:24 a.m. and ended at 4:01 p.m. EST. Not only did Foreman and Satcher complete all the tasks scheduled for the initial spacewalk with two hours to spare, they also completed a "get ahead" project that had been planned for the second spacewalk.
