Discovery astronauts took an early morning walk in the final frontier.

[SUPER=04-This Morning;]

The seven hour spacewalk turned out to be a great success.
Tied to the spacecraft two astronauts played construction workers installing hardware on the new international space station.
Live television pictures beamed back during the spacewalk showed the astronauts as they built two cranes on the outside of the space station, then attached bags of tools for future spacewalkers to use when they're making repairs to the 60-billion dollar station.
The biggest concern plaguing the station is back on earth and involves money.

See you heard right - Action Performance alone, sold $230 million dollars worth of racing stuff in 1998. But the best sales job this company ever did was locking up Dale Junior before he was big time. Action took a chance on the rookie last year and got rich. Action markets 50 different Dale Earnhardt Jr. products. Last year they sold more than $20 million dollars worth of them. ((DALE JR.:)) ((TOD:))
The bar marking that level will likely be rasied before this weekend is over in Charlotte. Action is breaking out all of the brand new Winston Cup Budweiser merchandise in honor of Jr. debut. They expect to sell a half a million dollars worth of stuff this weekend alone.
