Joshua Kutryk's 1st spacewalk just part of Canada's huge day in space

Forrest, right there. Bring your hands. Let's work, friends. For Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk, the view was like no other as he performed his first spacewalk. Alongside NASA's Anil Menon, he orbited Earth at an astonishing 7.7 kilometers per second. All right, good for both of you. Their job? To install a new solar array, a collection of solar panels that will help generate power for the International Space Station. Backbreaking work that took roughly seven hours. But Kutryk wasn't the only Canadian involved. Fellow astronaut Jenny Gibbons, who was Jeremy Hansen's backup for the Artemis II mission around the moon, was working capsule communications. I think what it means for Canada is an acknowledgement of the important role that we've been playing as part of this international collaboration. Neil Menon, his feet planted in a portable foot restraint at the end of the Canadarm2. And of course, the longest-serving Canadian presence in space, Canadarm2. held Menon as he worked on the installation. The astronaut, David Saint-Jacques, after completing his first spacewalk. The job is dangerous, something that Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques knows well. Before the spacewalk, he had a message for Kutryk. Josh, I know you're going to do a good job. You got this. He knows how well Kutryk had trained for this, but hopes he took some time to appreciate the view. It's a challenge to take a moment to look around, look at the Earth. Just let it all sink in. Can you go forward now? While this was Kutryk's first spacewalk, it won't be his last. He is scheduled, along with Menon, to install a second solar array next week. I'm at the shoulder of the... When once again, Canada will take center stage, 400 kilometers above Earth. Nicole Mortillero, CBC News, Toronto.
