Should have stuck a little P&S in a pocket as a backup. NM Would you happen to have a reputable reference? Just Me. I was watching real-time NASA TV of the spacewalk where they were inspecting the SARG rotary joint. When it came time to take pictures of the metal filings inside the SARG the camera locked up and wouldn't work. The other spacewalker was way on the other end of the station and so both astronaghts translated half way to hand off the other camera which didn't have a flash. When spacewalker got that camera back to the SARG area it wouldn't work either. So: No pictures of the damage to the SARG. NM |
