The Evergreen Tree
This is NASA astronaut Drew Foystel and I'm here to talk about my very first spacewalk. Our walks are a little different than what most people think about as walks. We don't actually walk in space, we float and we climb around with our fingertips mostly and just use our hands for mobility. What you see is the earth below you. That's it. You look between your feet and you see the tips of your toes and the blue planet,. In our case over 300 miles beneath us and then the darkness, the blackness of space is set against that contrast. One of the things that I always remember is thinking to myself, there's nothing out there.
