@Archie_slays @Astro_SEAL @AstroBehnken Removal of the device was not a priority for today. It was a "nice-to-have," so we can save that task for a future spacewalk! — PolitiTweet.org

Jasmin Moghbeli (@AstroJaws) is the Mission Control voice guiding the astronauts on today's spacewalk. A @USNavy test pilot, Moghbeli was selected in 2017 to be one of our newest @NASA_Astronauts. She is now eligible for spaceflight: https://t.co/u6bmUhrM3v https://t.co/lWMZ50bPpW — PolitiTweet.org

.@Astro_SEAL has completed routing a power cable, but removing a stubborn H-fixture is no longer on @AstroBehnken’s to-do list and he is bolting it back into place. The spacewalk continues. 🔧 https://t.co/Wecx61Rn9n — PolitiTweet.org

Watching today’s spacewalk? Here are some terms to know as two @NASA_Astronauts work outside @Space_Station: Ingress = enter EVA = Extravehicular Activity (spacewalk) PGT = Pistol Grip Tool (drill) BRT = Body Restraint Tether APFR = Articulating Portable Foot Restraint https://t.co/hDCRQq2HuE — PolitiTweet.org
