GoPros go on a space walk

NASA has released a stunning sequence of footage from two GoPros accompanying astronauts on a February spacewalk. The two astronauts, Barry Wilmore and Terry Virts, were reconfiguring the external port on the International Space Station in preparation for the arrival of new astronauts.

One video they captured shows the Space Station’s incredible views of earth, while the other video followed the astronauts along the underbelly of the massive structure. Both videos show a little of what it’s like to be in a sound vacuum (the video is virtually silent) and the difficulties of working in zero-gravity — one of the astronaut’s belt strap keeps floating into his view.
