During a news conference carried live on NASA Television, NASA managers at Johnson Space Center discussed the water leak that occurred inside the helmet of European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano during the July 16 spacewalk outside the International Space Station.

Parmitano and NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy were more than an hour into the spacewalk when Parmitano reported a buildup of water inside his helmet. Flight Director David Korth ended the spacewalk early at the 1-hour, 32-minute mark into the planned 6 1/2 hour excursion.

    Wish NASA would do this same type of analysis when UFO's are filmed on ISS cameras or from satellites.

    Of course they cover-up the UFO phenomenon, my point was if they did have a conference on UFO sightings they would have to answer some very difficult questions and I wonder if they could do it with the same analytical confidence as they exhibit in this conference regarding spacesuit failures. I would love to see it.

    I noted in Luca's blog that he was fitting into a smaller than regular space suit, could that extra 'pressure' of a tight fit that could have caused the problem..?

    Would it have been possible to for Luca to drink the water to prevent drowning?

    Is space,yes it is full of water. That's how we get ours. Until you understand. Think about adsorption and the vacuum bubble we live in. Looking at it backwards is extreamly hard to do.

    And if I am wrong then those Italians can't hold there liquor. LOL. I am sure there are not that many people that could be perfectly fine floating in space.

    it later was found out to be a cooling water leek most likely the water connector was disconnected or Luca tore his surgical tubing if both are disconnected water will leak into the suit another cause could be the neck water bladder which brings up water from the backpack to Luca's neck to keep his head cold when he is in the sun. Luca reported water on the back of his head only thing that rules that out is the neck water bladder if this is busted it needs to be replaced.

    First – congratulations to all for profesionalism and good ending.

    2 NASA public affairs: Please consider using "normal" metric units in public communications, so that most of the world can understand, what are you talking about. Especially now, that a member of ESA is on the ISS!
    Thanx

    The men on the panel are ineffective and do not control the deception level in their facial, and vocal expression. The female appears to be a fairly low intelligence likely an IQ of between 95 and 101. 104 being average.
