sourceAstronaut Steve MacLean has changed history, becoming only the second Canadian to walk in space.
MacLean and fellow Atlantis crew member Dan Burbank started their six-hour spacewalk at the international space station at 5:05 a.m. ET to work on the newly installed truss.
"You know guys, it feels like home out here," MacLean said.
The pair is focusing their attention and tools on a ferris-wheel-like rotary joint that will allow two solar arrays, once unfurled, to always face the sun as the space station circles Earth.
