@darthmoonie @Space_Station Thanks for your question! The outer layer of the spacesuit is white so that it reflects heat from sunlight. Astronauts also wear a cooling garment inside the suit, to regulate temperatures during a spacewalk. — PolitiTweet.org

Caught in action! Check out @Astro_illini leaving or “egressing” the @Space_Station. Already outside the hatch, he is joining @AstroVicGlover for the duo’s second spacewalk together. 🔴 – Glover's or “Ike's” suit has red stripes ⚪️ – Hopkins' or” Hopper's” suit has no stripes https://t.co/203mdc4KUi — PolitiTweet.org

@SyWarbrick1 Hey, Simon! Thanks for tuning in. Once the astronauts set their spacesuits to battery power, the spacewalk is targeted to last about 6.5 hours. — PolitiTweet.org

NASA @NASA

Update: Today’s spacewalk is running a little behind schedule due to audio issues with the duo’s communications channels. The @NASA_Astronauts are working to get back on schedule & are expected to start slightly after 7:30am ET( 12:30pm UTC): https://t.co/kUZGlmPHDT — PolitiTweet.org
