Cosmonauts on ISS identified the air leak using a teabag. A TEA BAG?

Sure if it works, it works but you’d hope they had something more Star Wars then that in the locker.

In the early days of the space program, NASA engineers spent a significant amount of time and money developing a ballpoint pen that would write in zero gravity. They eventually got it to work. The Russians used pencils.

@Byron8by7 I guess sometimes the right way is the simplest way. 😂

@MalteseFalconPunch It’s pretty amazing. Imagine being so intelligent but also so open minded with it. It’s quite incredible.

Not everything has to be high tech. NASA invented the Fisher Space Pen, but it turned out that a pencil works far better in zero gravity.
