CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — In a daring spacewalk, two space-station astronauts cut into the insulation of their descent capsule Thursday and removed an explosive bolt. Spacewalkers Sergei Volkov and Oleg Kononenko managed to safely disconnect the bolt from the Soyuz capsule. The bolt was one of 10 used to separate two parts of the module during re- entry. Disabling it is hoped to prevent a mechanical hangup similar to one that occurred during the last Soyuz descent and injured the passengers.
