First American Female Space Walk - Dr. Kathryn Sullivan

In the second part of her interview, NOAA Administrator Dr. Kathryn Sullivan shares a story from her time as an astronaut when she became the first American woman to walk in space. Her mission: to refuel a satellite propellant tank in space, using a toxic gas that could be the demise of all astronauts on the shuttle. Dr. Sullivan also debunks many space walk myths created by George Clooney and Sandra Bullock in Gravity, and shares some tips for traveling in orbit at 17,500 miles per hour.
