Last week astronauts on board the International Space Station spotted small white flakes floating away from the ISS. Suspecting a problem with the liquid ammonia cooling system that powers one of the station's solar arrays, they quickly arranged a space walk to fix it. Fortunately the situation is not life threatening. However, this is still the most impromptu space walk in the history of the ISS.
