After years of training, the astronauts on the 2009 Hubble mission made it look easy, but repairing the Space Telescope involved five long, risky spacewalks and intricate repairs never before attempted in space.

Nice Brian. Nova is one of my favourite shows, especially when they do the space shows.

I can't imagine fixing my car while wearing that stupid suit, or even getting the hood open for that matter.

At least when I drop a tool it lands on the floor. When they drop one it lands on Jupiter or the moon, or a distant galaxy.

How much of that is made of gold? I heard the foils are at least, because of the nice fatigue strength of gold.

Seems like they could just use lead or something.
