Wat.

Edit: oh dang.

His second EVA on 16 July 2013 was terminated after only 1 hour and 32 minutes, when the helmet of his Extravehicular Mobility Unit suit started filling with water.[14][15] Water in his helmet posed the danger of drowning and made his return to the airlock even more difficult, as orbital sunset had occurred just before he started to return.[16] Engineers found that contamination had clogged one of the suit's filters, causing water from the suit's cooling system to back up.[17] On 15 January 2016, astronaut Timothy Kopra experienced a water leak in his spacesuit.[18]
