Spacewalk tomorrow,... I think

Was flipping 2,000 channels and the ISS session on NASA (on Directv now,
376) indicated a space walk would occur tomorrow (Thursday I think) in the
afternoon (4 something) Houston time. Wasn't exactly sure if the ISS 'show'
was live or a recording, guess I'll find out tomorrow.
They said they needed to replace a component and talked about restoring a
power supply. All I could think of was HAL indicating a component was about
to fail,....
