Yet another ground to never impart home without your toothbrush . As Gina Sunseri of ABCreports :
A $ 100 billion space station saved by a simple $ 3 toothbrush ? It was the insight of astronaut Sunita Williams and Akihido Hoshide and NASA direct on the ground : a creature to make clean a bolt that give them so much hassle during a marathon 8 - hour spacewalk last week .
They were prove to exchange an electrical shift unit , but on Thursday they could n’t bolt it to the outside of the station .

What to do if there is no hardware memory in the neighbourhood and the next supply ship is calendar month off ? work up it yourself — so they tie a simple toothbrush to a metal pole and voila ! They were able to clean out the bolt ’s socket today and finish the job . Shades of Apollo 13 — when engineers threw parts on a table and brainstormed a resolution , which save the crew .
