(23 Apr 2014) Space station astronauts took a spacewalk on Wednesday to replace a dead computer and get back up to full strength.
The two Americans on board, Rick Mastracchio and Steven Swanson, stepped out for the urgent repair job.
The computer is a critical backup outside the International Space Station that failed nearly two weeks ago.
The prime computer has been working fine, but NASA wanted to install a fresh spare as soon as possible.
Mission Control waited until after the arrival of a capsule full of fresh supplies on Sunday.
