Astronaut Breaks U.S. Spacewalk RecordFebruary 8, 2007 / 5:55 PM EST / CBS/AP
Astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria broke the U.S. record for most time walking in space Thursday as he and another astronaut did maintenance work outside the international space station during their third spacewalk in nine days.
Lopez-Alegria surpassed the previous U.S. record of 58 hours and 32 minutes midway through his chores with fellow American Sunita Williams. He has a ways to go to claim the all-time record, though: Russian Anatoly Solovyov has logged more than 82 hours. (...)

ESQ: Would you say you've ever felt lonely in space or far from your loved ones?MLA: We had some ample ways of communicating, which included email. We actually had a telephone where we could call pretty much anybody on Earth. Most any time during the day, we were in constant communication with the mission control team in Houston.

On March 30, the Spanish-American pilot will lead the first private mission to the International Space Station, where he will share a bunk with Russian cosmonauts amid the ongoing war of Ukraine Q. You are vice-president of Axiom Space, and your company is planning to launch the first module to build the world’s first commercial space station in 2024, which will initially be connected to the ISS. When could this private station be completed?A. We launch the first module in 2024; six months later, we’ll launch a second module, and another six months later, a third module. Then we will wait for NASA and the other International Space Station partners to decide whether to bring it down. At that point, we will send the fourth module, which provides most of the power. Upon its arrival and after checks have been made to ensure everything is in perfect working order, we will disengage and the International Space Station will drop into the Pacific six months after that. The first module will be fully operational almost upon arrival, and we will be able to host astronauts and our clients, but it will not be an independent station until politicians decide to end the International Space Station.

Ax-3 spent a record 83 hours in Dragon during our flight to and from @Space_Station, and the vehicle still had plenty of propellant and other consumables to go even longer.
