In this action packed, adventuresode of SpaceVidcast we cover the incredibly dangerous EVA that the Russians just completed. Exploding bolts, knives in space and ripping through thermal foam are just a few things they had to do on this unscheduled EVA. The largest solar panel installation in the US is going in Florida, and guess what space agency will be using it. We have found a star that likes to put out. Finally we chat about you, space and if you would go to space with a 1/70 chance of total crew and vehicle loss.
