Atlantis' astronauts have completed their spacewalk outside the international space station.

Astronaut Randolph Bresnik had to put aside the impending birth of his daughter during his first-ever walk, but his wife was clearly on his mind. Gazing down at the earth, Bresnik said, "Other than seeing my wife for the first time, I don't think I've
ever seen a more beautiful face."

His wife, Rebecca, was due to give birth yesterday. But NASA officials said if the baby was born during today's spacewalk,
they'd wait to pass along the news to keep Bresnik focused on his job.
