Final spacewalk of Endeavour mission begins: robot arm work - Update

Washington - Astronauts Robert Behnken and Mike Foreman began the Endeavour's fifth and final spacewalk Saturday to stow a boom outside the space station that the shuttle will leave behind when it returns to Earth next week. The 17-metre-long boom was designed as a safety backstop to help the ageing shuttles perform post-launch self examinations for tile damage. Tears in the outer thermal skin that occurred on liftoff were blamed for the 2003 Colombia disaster that killed its seven astronauts as they tried to return to Earth.
