Two astronauts, Bill McArthur and Leroy Chiao, floated from the space shuttle Discovery and spent six hours wiring the new aluminum framework on the International Space Station. They connected power and data cables between the 140 foot structure and the Unity module, calling the scene huge and gorgeous as they narrated from 240 miles up.
