pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss OH SHT I got a leak lol

 

space walk is over IM commin IN !

 

Ripped glove brings spacewalk to early end

 

Mastracchio spotted the hole more than four hours into what should have been a 6?-hour spacewalk. "The gloves were good. I don't know where that little hole came from," he radioed.

that stinks for him

its no biggie, it wasn t even punctured all the way through

its like 3 layers or more

 

i would insist on some instant glue or liquid nails or something if I had to go out there for 6 + hours :thumbsdown:

least he got the chance to

-G

Wow what a lucky dude. I dont think he would have lasted long if the hole was all the way through! Its crazy that in space specs of paint move at 17000 mph LOL they ruin satelites all the time!

Nah i'd think he'd notice his oxygen leaking out and just make his way back into the ship

now that would be scary

or he would get sucked into the abyss through that tiny hole ?

If it went all the way through wouldn't the suit depressurize in a split second? He wouldn't have much time to get back if that is how it works.

He shoulda wrapped it with duct tape and finished the job, be a man!

A sand grain could go thru you up there, becasue Earth orbits sun at high speed, like around, 1000 mph, plus we orbit earth at additional high speed to maintain orbit against gravity, so imagine impacting headon a tiny speck. Much damage possible. :thumbsdown:

 

Getting more and more cluttered up there with debris, the more we use it. Although, that debris should mostly be moving at same speed as us unless opposing orbit direction.

The hole was probably an iPod connection they forgot to tell hiom about!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsdown:

there is no way I would do nothing about this ..........

 

I would jump in a suit and go replace it ...they have extra tiles.........
