And You Wonder Why We Still Haven't Landed On Mars

Shuttle Quick Fix May be Duct Tape

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (1010 WINS) -- Even in space, a little duct tape may work wonders.

Astronaut Piers Sellers suggested using some multipurpose sticky material to fix a safety-jet backpack used during spacewalks after it almost came loose from him while he repaired the international space station.

``Right now, is there some kind of tape fix that you guys could think about that would be helpful?'' Sellers asked Mission Control Tuesday morning, a day after the propulsive backpack started to come loose during his spacewalk with astronaut Mike Fossum."
