Description

Astronaut Butch Wilmore sits down to discuss his fascinating history in space, including the incredible technology behind NASA spacesuits, Space Shuttle launches, and the realities of performing emergency repairs in orbit. He breaks down the everyday carry of an astronaut — from the $5–7 million spacesuit to the specialized drill worn on the hip during spacewalks. Butch also reveals the surprising history of Soviet cosmonauts carrying firearms in their survival kits.
