Luca and the leaky suit.
Apparently the suit developed a leak some where and all the drinking and cooling water was pooling in his helmet.
"Astronaut Luca Parmitano nearly drowned during his spacewalk this morning, NASA officials said during a press conference this afternoon.
"During his second walk in two weeks to perform routine maintenance on the International Space Station, the Italian astronaut had one to five liters of water seep into his helmet, impairing his ability to see or hear."
And if as if that wasn't bad enough, this is what he told his fellow astronauts when they got that helmet off:
"the water tastes funny, not like our water from the portable water dispenser"
Eeewwww!
