I completely missed this when it happened last month:
The Italian astronaut who nearly drowned in his helmet during a spacewalk last month is sharing more details about the terrifying experience, revealing how he felt all alone and frantically tried to come up with a plan to save himself.
Luca Parmitano wrote in his online blog, posted Tuesday, that he could no longer see as the water sloshed around in his helmet outside the International Space Station.
Check out that blog post. Parmitano did a great job under extreme stress.
The article mentions they still don't know what went wrong with the American-made space suit so all space walks using those suits have been suspended. There's no mention in the story, but I'm guessing they haven't been able to get the suit back to Earth to examine it yet.
Quite the story.
