About this listen

 During a 2013 spacewalk, astronaut Luca Parmitano’s helmet began filling with water due to a spacesuit malfunction, putting his life at risk. Relying on memory and his tether, he safely navigated back to the airlock despite impaired vision and failed communications. NASA traced the issue to a clogged pump and improved suit safety afterward. The incident highlights the importance of vigilance and learning from unexpected challenges.
