New Delhi: Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams has now spent more time spacewalking than any other woman to date.
Sunita space-walked for over seven hours on Sunday, creating a record of 22 hours and 27 minutes in all. This includes Sunita's two most recent walks and one in December last year.
A graduate of the US Naval Academy, she has claimed in interviews never to have thought about becoming an astronaut till a chance meeting with veteran astronaut John Young made her look to the stars.
Indian-born astronaut Kalpana Chawla, who perished in the Columbia crash was a friend of Williams.
Sunita and her fellow space traveller Lopez will attempt another space walk on Thursday—clearly she's reaching for the stars in more ways than one.
