U.S.: Astronauts have a easy time slaying the Hubble beast

  • They expected trouble. They didn’t get it. Dealing with sharp objects, trying to fix a telescope in the middle of space, wearing those freaking suits, possibly getting hit with space junk – there were a lot of pitfalls in trying to fix the Hubble Space Telescope. But despite the massive length of time – six hours and 36 minutes – they did it easily. Great job guys! And when you’re done with that, we need some repairs for our apartment. source

If you click the link in Facebook, you download the torrent directly. If only buying software was this easy. source
