Duct tape can fix anything. Even a broken heart.

I swear, NASA is gonna get people killed on this mission.I'll admit, I thought this mission was a bad idea. The Webb telescope is going up in two years. We really didn't need to fix Hubble. We should have had another mission to finish the ISS.

“four or five thermal tiles” is what I guess you mean.
