Ok. I just read an article that was talking about how the astronauts on the Discovery right now are going to use duct tape to fix their jet packs so they could do their spacewalks. And it kept talking about how they use it all the time for all kinds of stuff. Including...
"More recently rolls of the hard-wearing grey tape were used on board the space station to form the top of a kitchen table that American astronaut Bill Shepherd built with spare aluminium struts in 2001. "Once we got it put together and finished, it was kind of the social centre of the station," Mr Shepherd said."
A kitchen table made of duct tape which then becomes the social centre. Are you SURE that guy isn't Canadian? Maybe Atlantic Canadian? Because they're having kitchen parties in space. That's awesome! Hahaha!
