ISS Crew Preparing for an Emergency Spacewalk
For anyone interested in space and our space program, there is a little drama going on aboard the International Space Station.

The leak is expected to force the shutdown of that solar array sometime this morning. The decision on doing a spacewalk will be made sometime late tonight. NASA TV has been covering these events on and off already, and if there is a spacewalk you will be able to watch it live. You can check in on their live stream here at GeekDad.
