How to make changes like a rock climber

Astronauts and rock climbers have something in common. Both have a rule they follow when they want to make a change. Whether spacewalking or rock climbing, they make sure they have two solid options before making a move so they will still be safe even if a tether fails. Before making a move, rock climbers always secure a new connection before breaking the existing one.
