Abstract: In 1993, the global stability of Minkowski spacetime has been proven in the celebrated work of Christodoulou and Klainerman cite{Ch-Kl} in a maximal foliation. In 2003, Klainerman and Nic`olo cite{Kl-Ni} gave a second proof of the stability of Minkowski in the case of the exterior of an outgoing null cone. In this paper, we give a new proof of cite{Kl-Ni}. Compared to cite{Kl-Ni}, we reduce the number of derivatives needed in the proof, simplify the treatment of the last slice, and provide a unified treatment of the decay of initial data. Also, concerning the treatment of curvature estimates, we replace the vectorfield method used in cite{Kl-Ni} by the rp--weighted estimates of Dafermos and Rodnianski cite{Da-Ro}.
