Throughout their mission, Space Station astronauts Alexander Gerst and Reid Wiseman have enthralled us with stunning photos of the Earth from space. Tomorrow, they get to step outside for a better look. The pair will conduct a spacewalk to install a new system to provide backup power to our mobile transporter, the sliding “rail car” that transports Canadarm2 and Dextre. Live coverage of the spacewalk starts at 7:00 a.m. ET (4:00 a.m. PT), with the astronauts exiting the station around 8:10 a.m. Make space a part of your balanced breakfast! ;-) ustream.tv/nasahdtv nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html “I will never forget the golden reflection of the rising sun on the hull of our ship.” Photo by Alexander Gerst, via Twitter (@Astro_Alex).
