Why not make the repair in 2 shorter duration space walks so that at a time critical to success the astronauts aren’t exhausted after being “outside” so long? What’s the point in a long space walk if it just ends in failure?

Also, seems stupid to just toss trash out into space... especially electronics.. would there be value to studying the way electronics degrade over time in a space environment? Maybe they already know all that...and I’m the ignorant one, which is completely possible.

I can see that happening.
