Russian debris cloud forces NASA to postpone spacewalk

On November 30th, a cloud of space debris was created when Russia destroyed an old satellite during a missile test. This debris poses a significant risk to the International Space Station (ISS) and its crew. NASA postponed a scheduled spacewalk due to the threat of debris. SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, also adjusted the orbits of some Starlink satellites to minimize collision risks. While the ISS and SpaceX Dragon capsules have protective shields, space suits do not, increasing the danger during spacewalks.
