Hey, NASA<.......RU Listening??????
How about a crash course(ooops, wrong word) for upcoming astro's in the art of tile/structural repairs on shuttles? I mean, orbiters docked with the iSS and they saw damage, one option would have been to go EVA and asses the damage, Right? So at least have some small repair kits/addtional consumables on the ISS to make it a real SPACE STATION for the extended crew... whille the damage is fixed.
