The latest videos below from YouTube videographers BEN TIME TRAVELER and Mary Greeley share of an urgent situation unfolding aboard the International Space Station and a rush to save it that is bringing along with it a comparison to the film 'Gravity'. Is all this talk of doom aboard the ISS just a decoy to get the eyes of the world off of what some say may still be a real threat, Comet ISON in the next few weeks?
IF it weren't real, you'd think it was straight out of the film Gravity. A crisis situation is unfolding on the International Space Station.
NASA has today ordered up a series of urgent spacewalks to fix the system that controls the temperature of the equipment on the station.
It's a big job that will require two and possibly three spacewalks on Saturday, Monday and next Wednesday, Christmas Day.
As the blockbuster film Gravity so effectively portrays a space walk can turn into disaster. In the film, medical engineer Dr Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) spiral out into the abyss of space when disaster strikes during a space walk to repair the Hubble Space Telescope.
