Default Alan Boyle ... Cosmic Log on ISS cooling loop

Repairs to the cooling system are among the "Big 14" maintenance tasks
that NASA and its partners expected to face during space station
operations. Since 2007, spacewalkers have gone out to deal with coolant
system issues six times. In May, NASA mounted a spacewalk to replace a
leaky coolant pump control box after just two days of planning.

Lot's of other good comments about the suits and the schedule.

The schedule has changed for two reasons: the first space walk was
able to get ahead, and a second suit has water problems (not the same
water problem as in July). More at

The first spacewalk to repair the International Space Station's cooling
system went better than expected, but afterward, NASA encountered a new
problem.

After Saturday's five-hour, 28-minute outing to remove a faulty coolant
pump module, astronaut Rick Mastracchio returned to the space station's
Quest air lock and discovered something that wasn't supposed to be.
Water had entered his spacesuit sublimator — a device that's designed
to dissipate excess heat.

Maybe C282Y is simply one of the hangers-on, a groupie following a
future guitar god of the human genome: an allele with undiscovered
virtuosity, currently soloing in obscurity in Mom's garage.

Quite the drama for Xmas this year.
Beats anything Hollywood could dream up.

Damn cable system doesn't carry NASA TV. Will have to stream off
computer when I can.

I should go back to DirecTV.
