    Default Hubble Repairs

    Anyone else been watching the Hubble repairs on Nasa's channel? Fascinating stuff!

    Just want to give praise to the astronauts for their success so far, and pray for their safe return home later this week.

    It's amazing how hurling along at over 10,000 mph can seem so quiet and serene.

    I think about orbiting as that split second of weightlessness when you go over a speed bump. Except the speed bump is really huge and you have to go really fast to achieve weightlessness. And in the middle of that, you're manipulating a tiny screw with big clumbsy gloves on.
