In the history of spacewalks, two names will never be forgotten. Former Soviet cosmonauts Svetlana Savitskaya and Anatoliy Solovyov each hold a special place in spacewalk lore. They shared some of their amazing experiences with CCTV as well as some of their thoughts on the upcoming Shenzhou 7 mission.

Savitskaya was born in 1948 in Moscow. She was accepted into the Soviet cosmonaut program in 1980.
