    You'd think if you're taking documents to space you'd leave out the bits that say 'This page intentionally left blank.'
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

      and they've still no idea how to pronounce it.
      Of course, that isn't in the spec..........

        I take my hat off to anyone who can solder in zero G - It's tricky enough normally, but imagine how much harder it must be with great big globules of hot solder floating about sticking to everything except the board!

            anything about whiskers and the nasty failure modes they can cause?

              I always found the biggest problem with soldering is you need one hand to hold one thing you're soldering, a second hand to hold the other, a third to hold the iron, and a fourth to hold the solder. I'd end up using pliers, shoes, books, my glasses case.. anything I could grab to try to suspend things in mid air all the time worrying about burning the carpet.

              Zero G soldering would be a doddle.
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
