Is this sentence correct?
"The astronauts took six spacewalks to fix the optics of the telescope"
I think spacewalks should be changed into spacewalkers. right
Moreover, if we change spacewalks into spacewalkers, will the sentence become correct both in meaning and grammar?
This sentence is really strange for me. I can't understand it at all. Please help

No. They went outside the spacecraft six times. They didn't take six people with them.

Furthermore, I think that if the writer wanted to convey the following meaning "They went outside the spacecraft six times. They didn't take six people with them" he should write this way "it took six space walks for the astronauts to fix the optics" am i right?
