Dafydd Williams: Canada's Spacewalker 👨🚀
Dr. Dafydd Williams completed two Space Shuttle missions, STS-90 in 1998 and STS-118 in 2007. Eventually completing three EVAs (Extravehicular Activities) across the missions totaling over 17 hours setting a Canadian record for total number of spacewalks. A medical doctor, he conducted life science research on the human body's adaptation to space. #Canada #DafyddWilliams #Spacewalk #Science 🇨🇦
Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritskiy of the Russian space agency Roscosmos will venture outside the International Space Station (ISS) today at about 12:50 p.m. EDT (1650 GMT), kicking off a spacewalk that's expected to last 5.5 hours.
You can watch it live here at Space.com, courtesy of NASA, or directly via the agency. Coverage will begin at 12:15 p.m. EDT (1615 GMT).
#PhotoOfTheDay: America’s First #Spacewalk
NASA astronaut Ed White, pilot of the Gemini IV mission, floats in space on June 3, 1965, while performing the first spacewalk by an American. As White floated outside the spacecraft, he used a Hand-Held Maneuvering Unit, informally called a “zip gun.”
The device, seen in White’s right hand in this image, expelled pressurized oxygen to provide thrust for controlling his movements outside the capsule.

/nodes/{node_name}/apt/upgrade
At the moment you need to use the node’s HTML5 console to perform upgrades. Other methods exist such as running unattended Debian upgrade scripts, using patch management tools like #Spacewalk or #QualvoSec, or automating the process with #Ansible over SSH. My idea is to have an API based solution that relies on Proxmox authentication and authorization. This would also allow third party tools such as #ProxLB to provide automated patch management and even handle guest rebalancing in a way that is similar to DRS without requiring direct SSH access.
I never thought I would rebuild my #Spacewalk currency #Icinga plugin after almost 9 years..
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Extravehicular activity (EVA)
is any activity done by an #astronaut in outer space outside a spacecraft. In the absence of a breathable Earthlike atmosphere, the astronaut is completely reliant on a #space suit for environmental support. EVA includes spacewalks and lunar or planetary surface exploration (commonly known from 1969 to 1972 as moonwalks). In a stand-up EVA (SEVA), an astronaut stands through an open hatch but does not fully leave the spacecraft. EVAs have been conducted by the Soviet Union/Russia, the United States, and China; astronauts from Canada, Japan, Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, and the European Space Agency have also participated in EVAs conducted by those nations.
On March 18, 1965, Alexei Leonov became the first human to perform a #spacewalk exiting the Voskhod 2 capsule for 12 minutes and 9 seconds. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to perform a moonwalk, outside his lunar lander on Apollo 11 for 2 hours and 31 minutes. In 1984, Svetlana Savitskaya became the first woman to perform a spacewalk, conducting EVA outside the Salyut 7 space station for 3 hours and 35 minutes. On the last three Moon missions, astronauts also performed deep-space EVAs on the return to Earth, to retrieve film canisters from the outside of the spacecraft. American Astronauts Pete Conrad, Joseph Kerwin, and Paul Weitz also used EVA in 1973 to repair launch damage to Skylab, the United States' first space station.
EVAs may be either tethered (the astronaut is connected to the spacecraft; oxygen and electrical power can be supplied through an umbilical cable; no propulsion is needed to return to the spacecraft), or untethered. Untethered spacewalks were only performed on three missions in 1984 using the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU), and on a flight test in 1994 of the Simplified Aid For EVA Rescue (SAFER), a safety device worn on tethered U.S. EVAs.

In a highway service station
Over the month of June
Was a photograph of the earth
Taken coming back from the moon
And you couldn't see a city
On that marbled bowling ball
Or a forest or a highway
Or me here, least of all

Western Centuries "Space Force"
I want to join the Space Force
And wear a silver suit
I’ll have a badge on my pocket
And a pistol in my boot
We’ll cruise around the galaxy
Taking all the bad guys down
Our crimes will be forgotten
Cause the Space Dogs are back in town
I am CRAZY late for #tunetuesday but it's been ages since I participated, and I have a perfect song for today, #SpaceWalk !
I love Hoyoverse and their games, and I can't think of a better track for today than track 2 from their Honkai Star Rail soundtrack - Space Walk!
