      Astronauts talk about how exhilarating it is. Apparently it’s pretty amazing to have just a thin spacesuit between you and the Earth. Some people even get a bit of vertigo and feel like they might fall.

      Tim Peake just did one to help repair the ISS’s power system and get ready for a new module that’s going to be coming up in a few months and seemed to really enjoy it. He’s been posting a lot of pictures on his facebook and twitter about it.
