 Sunita and Lopez-Alegria yesterday returned inside the outpost's Quest airlock and shut the outer hatch, settling down to enjoy the spectacular Super Bowl football game between the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts.

Today, Lopez-Alegria and Sunita will recharge batteries and prepare their spacesuits and tools for the next spacewalk set for Thursday morning.

This series of walks is the most attempted in so short a period of time by any space station astronauts without the crew of a shuttle also present to assist them.
