Luca Parmitano: The Astronaut Who Nearly Drowned In Space
Summary by Ground News
Astronaut Luca Parmitano was conducting a spacewalk outside of the International Space Station (ISS) when he noticed water building up inside his helmet. He remained outside for 23 minutes while the liquid continued to grow. By the time he was pulled indoors, it had made its way into his eyes, and close to his nose and mouth. He was alone, blind, and unable to hear.
