**SPACEWALK ON ISS**: It's done! EVA scheduled to last 7 hours. It lasted 8:30. Ammonia pump is fixed.

Douglas Wheelock and Tracy Caldwell-Dyce, finished the job one hour ago. I've watched the first 2:30 hours of spacewalk, missed 1:30 and record 4:30 and. I didn't watch it yet... My impressions of the first hours of mission:

* Something was wrong with Tracy's tool set.
* Something was wrong with her gloves.
* NASA lost visual of onboard/helmet cameras for almost 1 hour.
* (Here someone correct me, if I'm wrong)The broken ammonia pump on ISS was different of the model they've trainned and they had some probs to detach the clamps of cables. I've heard the ground control and Doug Wheelock, saying to Tracy Caldwell-Dyce "Take very care now", a lot of times. I've noticed the astronauts kinda under pressure, breathing hard, specially the chick. It seemed a hard-ass job, I mean, they had only one substitute device. If they screwed it, the whole space station would be compromised.

When I woke up, I heard ground control saying, the job was well done. I'm about to watch the 4:30 video I've recorded to check the rest of spacewalk. There's another one scheduled to next Wednesday.
