The Russians, meanwhile, will stage their second spacewalk in under a week, this Thursday, to prepare for the arrival of a new lab by the end of this year. The two countries’ suits are completely different.
More than a month has passed since the July 16 spacewalk, and it’s given Parmitano time to reflect on the dangers surrounding him. The first-time space flier will return to Earth in November.
“Space is a harsh, inhospitable frontier and we are explorers, not colonisers,” he wrote. “The skills of our engineers and the technology surrounding us make things appear simple when they are not, and perhaps we forget this sometimes.
“Better not to forget.”
据美国媒体8月20日报道,上月太空漫步时险因头盔漏水而溺亡的意大利航天员卢卡•帕尔米塔诺在博客中披露了那次可怕的经历。
36岁的帕尔米塔诺是意大利空军少校,当时正在进行他人生中的第二次太空漫步。随着水不断深入头盔,他的视线模糊了, “但更糟糕的是,水淹没了我的鼻子——这真是一种可怕的感觉,我本想通过摇头把水弄走,但这是徒劳的,情况反而更糟糕了,”这名前试飞飞行员写道,“现在头盔上半部分浸满了水,我甚至不确定我下次呼吸时吸进肺的是空气而不是水。”
他不知道那个方向可以通往空间站的舱口。他试着联系太空漫步同伴美国人克里斯托弗•卡西迪和控制中心,但他们的声音微弱,而且也没有人能听到他的声音。
