The two spacewalk rookies had a "perfect walk" and were able to accomplish everything on their "to do" list, according to the European Space Agency, including moving a pump, fixing a light and upgrading the power supply.

And at the end of the day, the pair came away with two pretty awesome selfies to remember the moment.
