      Tim’s spacewalk was 4 hours 43 minutes. He finished the work that needed to be done and was performing some extra tasks when his colleague had a problem with the spacesuit and so they ended the spacewalk early and returned to inside the ISS.
      Life on the ISS starts out as different, needing to adjust to perform simple tasks without the effect of gravity. After a few weeks it becomes like normal. Sleep, eat, work, relax, exercise. Repeat. But the view out of the window never stops to be amazing.
      When Tim was launched I was in Bremen, Germany. There I work on building the Orion spacecraft which will take humans back to the Moon and onto Mars in the future.
