I noticed that one of the Endeavour astronauts damaged his glove. This same astronaut was selected to make any possible orbiter repair spacewalk. Does he have a new glove? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>

"i assume complete suit aswell"<br /><br />No, there are limited number of HUTS and other parts. We probably can make a suit for someone, can't be sure it is the same person.

I am taking donations that would go to a new computer (my existing computer's motherboard died). Broadband would have to come later but would also have to rely on donations. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>
