I felt the same way...except I wanted to poke a stick in it.

The Discovery astronauts are gearing up for a critical spacewalk today to begin re-wiring the international space station while engineers debate whether to add an unplanned spacewalk early next week to help coax an unruly solar array into full retraction.
Astronauts Robert Curbeam and Christer Fuglesang, Sweden's first man in space, are scheduled to begin a planned six-hour spacewalk at 3:12 p.m., their second in three days. The goal of this excursion is to switch two of the station's four major electrical circuits over to the lab's permanent power system.
The other two circuits will be re-wired during a spacewalk Saturday by Curbeam and newly arrived station astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams. Both spacewalks are required to route electricity from the station's main arrays through big switching units and transformers on the solar array truss that make up the lab's permanent power system.
