neat shuttle/iss pictures

Very cool. Thanks. [Smile]

Ooo those are pretty spiffy. Nice find.

Just what is that thing in the 6th frame that is held together with duct tape?
 
Posted by JaimeBenlevy (Member # 6222) on :
 
Wow, those are awesome. In the 5th picture, can anyone identify what countries are in the picture? Just curious.
 
Posted by NinjaBirdman (Member # 7114) on :
 
Awesome. [Smile]

That looks like a little mini hacksaw in the 6th frame.

Wonder how much NASA spends for a mini hacksaw cobbled together with duct tape?
 
Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
 
Here is a similar hacksaw.
 
Posted by ssywak (Member # 807) on :
 
Very impressive, indeed!

And then the hacksaw, cobbled together with duct tape. My first thought: "doesn't duct tape outgas like a sonofabith in a vacuum?," but that's just me.
 
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
 
I'm guessing it cost more than $4.99.

Nah, it's fine. My Hoover is held together with duct tape, no problems.

Not that kind of vacuum, Tante!

Sheesh! Some people!

Nature abhors a vacuum. Me too. Also, a steam iron.

Oh? I guess it must be a Kirby, then.

[Wave] High Five, quidscribis! Good one!

duct tape can fix anything!

I want to go into space now. Anyone want to lend me an enormous amount of money so I can buy my own shuttlecraft?
 
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
 
No money to lend, but perhaps this can help.
 
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
 
Hm, would the all-weather Duct Tape hold up to reentry conditions?
 
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
 
Supposably.
 
Posted by Damien.m (Member # 8462) on :
 
Whoa!
 
Posted by ssywak (Member # 807) on :
 
If you look up the spec for the "Scotch® Professional HVAC Duct Tape" it specifically states: "Does not outgas like a sonofabitch in a vacuum."

I stand corrected. Apologies for all.
