Reply to comment by _who_is_they_ in TIL: Thanks to poor internal communication at NASA, information about a spacesuit water leak wasn't properly communicated. Later, Astronaut Luca Parmitano almost drowned on a July, 2013 ISS space walk, his helmet filling with several liters of water before they could get him back inside. by OvidPerl

I explain that here. The suits are filled with water as a coolant. It was a leak in that system.

No, no clearly all space walks are actually faked in a secret underwater studio. The coolant explanation is just an excuse.
