We will pass out of the ZOE and enter TDRS-West coverage by 8:22 PM EDT (12:22 AM GMT), sunrise expected in about 6 minutes. We may get KU from TDRS-Z and there it is, KU through TDRS-Z!

How does weightlessness affect the exertion required to effect a physical task?
As I understand it, when you push or pull on an object the law of inertia still applies (mass is unchanged). But what does it actually mean for the person doing the work? Can they lift heavier objects than down on Earth?
Apart from the sustained mental concentration required, how taxing is an EVA? Is it backbreaking labor?

EVA is apparently very difficult, but due to having to work against the internal pressure of the space suit rather than zero-G effects. The US and Russian suits are different in this regard, as the US suits run at a lower internal pressure which requires prebreathing pure oxygen but makes it easier to work.
