CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida: Spacewalking astronauts had to take extra safety precautions Saturday after possibly getting toxic ammonia on their suits from the International Space Station’s external cooling system. But so much ammonia spewed out of the first hose that Mission Control worried some of the frozen white flakes might have gotten on their suits. As a result, Mission Control said it was going to “be conservative” and require inspections. NASA did not want any ammonia getting inside the space station and contaminating the cabin atmosphere. “No, no, it’s not your fault,” Mission Control assured him.
