NASA astronauts Sunita "Suni" Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmore surely didn't think they'd still be on the International Space Station this long when they left Earth in June. In fact, they initially expected to stay for just eight days.

After a gap of more than a year, NASA successfully resumed spacewalks outside the International Space Station on Thursday. NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Suni Williams, dressed in pressurized NASA spacesuits, moved through the Quest airlock and into the vacuum of space.

Two NASA astronauts who have been on the International Space Station since June 2024 are preparing for a spacewalk. A spacewalk, also known as an extravehicular activity (EVA), is when an astronaut leaves their spacecraft and works outside in space.

Sunita Williams, one of NASA's two stranded astronauts, took her first spacewalk since arriving at the International Space Station (ISS) more than seven months ago on Thursday, enjoying a much-needed change of scenery.

NASA's two stuck astronauts are taking their first spacewalk together, exiting the International Space Station almost eight months after moving in
