NASA's stranded astronaut leaves the ISS for first time in months... but there's a catch

One of NASA's stranded astronauts has finally left the International Space Station (ISS) after being stuck inside for eight months - but she's not headed home. Sunita Williams had a much-needed change of scenery Thursday during her first spacewalk since arriving on the ISS on June 6. Williams, the station's commander, had to tackle some overdue outdoor repair work alongside NASA's Nick Hague. The pair emerged as the orbiting lab sailed 260 miles above Turkmenistan in Central Asia. The spacewalk is expected to take six and a half hours, concluding at around 1pm ET.
