Michael J. Massimino
American Astronaut
The thing I remember most about space is the view from the spacewalk. When I was inside the space shuttle and looking through the window, you can see the earth and the stars, and it's very beautiful, but it's like looking at an aquarium, sort of. When you go outside and spacewalk, you become a scuba diver.
Quote examples
Julie Payette
Canadian Politician
On my first mission, I was the spacewalk supervisor: the person that runs the spacewalk from inside the vehicle. As such, I was the one that closed the hatch when my colleagues left to work outside for six hours. And I was also the person who opens the hatch when they come back, and we repressurize.
Quote examples
Scott Kelly
American Astronaut
Now, space has its own unique smell. So whenever a vehicle docks, or if guys are out doing a spacewalk, the smell of space when you open up the hatch is very distinct. It's kind of like a burning-metal smell, if you can imagine what that would smell like.

Kathleen Rubins
American Astronaut
You absolutely know you're in space when you're doing a spacewalk. That was pretty interesting because you can feel vacuum. It actually changes your vocal cords because the pressure inside the suit drops quite a bit, so your voice feels different.
Quote examples
Chris Hadfield
Canadian Astronaut
It's a really big deal to do a spacewalk. It's much riskier than staying indoors. It's complex. It uses up a lot of the precious resources onboard. It uses up oxygen. It uses up carbon dioxide scrubbers.
Quote examples
Scott Kelly
American Astronaut
It's a combination of science, maintenance, and general housekeeping. And then, occasionally, robotics activities or a spacewalk you might get to do.

American Astronaut
When the guys come back in from the spacewalk, there really is a distinct smell of space; it's something I will never forget.

Italian Astronaut
It is an incredible treat and certainly one of the highlights of any astronaut's career to do a spacewalk.

You're very well trained for the spacewalk, so when you go outside, it's not like the movies.
