Green Light for Spacewalks

Earlier this week NASA put a hold on US spacewalks due to a odd bubbling inside some handrails that are used to tether the astronauts to the space station. NASA now has given the crew a green light for any needed spacewalks but they are instructed to attach their tethers to a base that anchors the handrails to the station instead of the handrails themselves.

The Russian spacewalks are still on hold until a supply vehicle arrives in April with the four missing canister needed to rid carbon dioxide from the air that the space walkers breath.
