Help:What is a spacewalk ?

Typically the kind of question which sounds dumb at first, but can actually lead to some intricate disputes. According to NASA, spacewalks are described as such : Any time an astronaut gets out of a vehicle while in space, it is called a spacewalk. A spacewalk is also called an EVA. EVA stands for extravehicular activity. However, this description is not completely suited for a fictional context. Indeed, they seem to tell us that spacewalks and EVAs are one in the same, which is true in real life, for all intents and purposes, but it's definitely too vast of a definition in a work of fiction. For example, let's take Mobile Suit Gundam, the very first episode especially. In this episode, we can clearly see Amuro, as well as his friends and family, live in a hollow space colony, in which they live rather regular lives, just like one would on Earth. Does that count as a spacewalk ? To blur the lines further, if we take Astra : Lost in Space, episode 2, does the crew's activity on the exoplanet they land on count as a spacewalk, despite having a breathable atmosphere and alike ? After all, Wikipedia, on the other hand, elaborates : Extravehicular activity (EVA) is any activity done by an astronaut or cosmonaut outside a spacecraft beyond the Earth's appreciable atmosphere. The part emphasized in italic, refering to the Kármán line in this context, does imply that an underlying notion of atmospheric threshold at play. We could also bring up more perilous scenarios like being thrown out of an airlock for example : does this count as a spacewalk if it's not intentional ? Strictly speaking, it may count since "any time an astronaut gets out of a vehicle while in space, it is called a spacewalk", and in this case they're definitely beyond any planet's appreciable atmosphere, but it's easy to see why one could want to add a dimension of intentionality to spacewalks...

Overall, as of now, this wiki will at least allow any extravehicular activity, intentional or not, done within the void of space, or any exterior activity on the surface of a satellite or planet lacking any atmosphere ; an exterior activity, here, is loosely defined as any activity outside of any artificially created space allowing one to move freely without the need for a spacesuit (spaceships, rockets, houses, cultivation domes and tents, etc.). Edge cases can be discussed on this page's talk page, either for specific examples in some episode, or an overall criticism of this wiki's criteria.
