While we’re waiting on NASA’s Artemis I moon rocket to (maybe) finally launch this week, there’s another space event worth tuning in for: Two American astronauts currently aboard the International Space Station are taking their first spacewalk on Tuesday, Nov. 15.

NASA astronauts Josh Cassada and Frank Rubio are exiting the space station to place mounting hardware for solar arrays, which will be installed on the exterior of the ISS over the course of several planned spacewalks in the coming months. Here’s how to watch it live.

How to watch the NASA spacewalk

Live coverage of the spacewalk will begin at 6:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 1. on NASA TV, the NASA app, and NASA’s website. At 8 a.m. ET, the astronauts will leave the space station’s airlock to begin their installation mission. The event is expected to last about seven hours. The broadcast is expected to include footage from helmet cams as well as live commentary and feeds from both the astronauts and Mission Control. According to NASA, Cassada will be wearing a spacesuit with red stripes, while Rubio’s suit will be unmarked (in case you wanted to tell them apart).

NASA has two additional spacewalks planned for Nov. 28 and Dec. 1, though the details of which astronauts will do what and when have yet to be announced. The most recent spacewalk took place back in March.

Artemis I launch update

After a handful of disappointing delays, the long-awaited Artemis I moon rocket might finally take off early Wednesday (Nov. 16) morning, with a two-hour launch window beginning at 1:04 a.m. ET. There are a few maintenance issues remaining, but NASA is expected to have an update on Monday afternoon. If this Wednesday doesn’t fly, the backup dates are Nov. 19 and Nov. 25.

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

6 of the Best Drinking Games to Play During Super Bowl LVII

Image
Photo : Pixel-Shot ( Shutterstock ) This game is nearly identical to the “drink every time” game above, but adjusted for shots, so it’s for those trying to party a little harder. The idea is to make a list of shot-worthy occurrences—like “a coach yells at a referee” or “something goes wrong during the halftime show”—and then take a shot whenever they happen. If the promise of regular shots isn’t enough for you, we have another twist for you: The “1, 2, 3" rule. The first time something from your shot list happens, you take one shot. The second time it occurs, take two. The third, three...and then hopefully you don’t push your health and safety past that point. On the other hand, you can always choose to sip instead of taking a full shot. Again, none of these party games have to involve alcohol. But they definitely can if you want them to. Super Bowl LVII is on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. E T /3:30 p.m. P T. https://www.tausiinsider.com/6-of-...
