Astronauts To Repair Shuttle Tiles With Foam Brush

lhouk281 writes "Repairing the space shuttle's heat shield on the fly might be easier than originally thought, thanks to a basic, inexpensive item in any painter's tool box -- the foam brush. The brush, which costs less than $1 at most hardware stores, was described by NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe as the perfect instrument for applying two compounds that together form a Super Glue-like substance to patch potential holes in the shuttle's heat-resistant tiles."

Does the fix...

Does the fix also involve an inanimate carbon rod?

Trailer park trash

So, are we going to see shuttles who's primary color is "primer" and "Bondo"?

Shuttles with one wheel that is the mini-spare, for years?

Shuttles with plastic over one window?

Hmmm.

Could be worse.

We could see shuttles with spoilers, glo-lights, ThunderThump3000 stereos, and "R-Type" stickers...
