Russians have been very active in space with two cosmonauts showing off the International Space Station’s new robotic arm

Oleg Artemyev and Denis Metveev left the space station just before 11am ET for their spacewalk which went on for nearly 8 hours.

This marked the second spacewalk for Matveev and the fifth for Artemyev.

The two cosmonauts have been working on the robotic arm since April 18 just outside the Russian Nauku module.

The first spacewalk involved installing and connecting a control panel for the 11 metre-long robotic arm.

Matveev and Artemyev tested the robotic limb flexing its joints and testing its grappling skills.

The arms is designed for spacewalkers to help transport items outside of Russia’s segment of the space station.

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
