Spacewalk suspended after leak in U.S. astronaut’s helmet
NASA cut short a spacewalk on Friday at the International Space Station after one of the astronauts reported a leak in his spacesuit helmet, the U.S. space agency said. Tim Peake, who on the mission became the first astronaut from Britain to walk in space, and U.S. astronaut Tim Kopra had finished the primary goal of their outing when Kopra reported a water ball had formed in his helmet.
The astronauts were not in any danger, but NASA curtailed the spacewalk as a precaution, flight director Royce Renfrew said during an interview on NASA TV. Peake, 43, a former army major, blasted off to the station as part of a six-month mission for the European Space Agency in December, becoming the first Briton in space since Helen Sharman travelled on a Soviet spacecraft for eight days in 1991, and the first to do so under a British flag. His mission has attracted widespread attention in Britain, with news channels beaming live coverage of the spacewalk.
“We’re all watching, no pressure! Wishing you a happy stroll outdoors in the universe,” British musician Paul McCartney said on Twitter. About three hours into Friday’s spacewalk, Kopra, 52, reported that his helmet pad was damp and a ball of water had collected in his helmet, prompting NASA to end the mission. The leak increased as Kopra and Peake returned to the airlock. “It was quite noticeable,” Kopra later told ground controllers. NASA tightened its flight rules after a spacesuit worn by Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano leaked during a spacewalk in July 2013, nearly causing him to drown. NASA eventually tracked down the source of the problem and outfitted the helmets with absorption pads and breathing snorkels as additional safety measures.
Chief astronaut Chris Cassidy, who was Parmitano’s partner during the aborted 2013 spacewalk, said the cold temperature of the water indicated a leak from somewhere in the spacesuit’s backpack, which contains a cooling system. In an interview on NASA TV, Cassidy called it “a significant concern.” Kopra and Peake had replaced a failed voltage regulator in the station’s power system shortly after leaving the station’s airlock at around 8 a.m. EST/1300 GMT. They were scheduled to spend more than six hours outside the station, a $100 billion research laboratory that flies about 250 miles (400 km) above Earth, on other maintenance chores. That work will be rescheduled, NASA said.

Top Actress Wants To Write Book On Her Struggles
Mumbai: Actress Kangana Ranaut intends to write a book on her struggles in her life, which includes the period before she came to the film industry as well as her stint in it. “The way I dealt with my failures has been very heavy and I would like to write a book about that, how success will never teach you anything” said Kangana at the launch of journalist Barkha Dutt’s book, “The Unquiet India” here. “So I’ve been through struggle for 10 years, and I think that’s what shaped me up as a person today. I don’t know how much a success people see me as – that is very external aspect of one’s growth – but I think I’m a very successful person on a very personal level. And when you lose something or face failure, it’s about how you deal with it and not lose your self-respect and self-worth,” she said.
“Ten years of humiliation, rejection, embarrassment could’ve made me believe what the whole world thought about me – like if they thought about me as a loser, but I didn’t think of myself as that or as what the world or my parents thought of me. That’s why I could do what I did in my life… Not just in India but all over the world, winning and success in so overrated,” she added. Kangana, who was aspiring to be a doctor before she decided to enter the film industry, says that right from schools, the system of success or ‘standing first in class’ is prominent. She also faced trauma due to her parents’ strange behavior if she didn’t stand first in class.
“We need to tell our children that it is okay to fail, there’s nothing wrong in it. Nothing lasts forever. That kind of spirit needs to be there,” she said. Kangana also feels that this kind of prominence given to success and winning, creates a feeling where a rejection is hard for people to accept. She believes that’s the reason violence against women happen, having seen her sister Rangoli suffering an acid attack.
“So rejection is so hard to deal with for anyone, especially men, there’s no acceptance for the fact that this women doesn’t want or that she doesn’t have feelings for me. Usually that is the intention and I feel that for 90 per cent of the violence against women – that kind of rejection triggers it.” Kangana also confessed about being physically abused by an industry celebrity and how she is fighting back physically and legally.
