Bozing garbage to be ejected

 


Ha, this is an engineering disaster.  The garbage can't be ejected without a human or humanoid sacrifice.  The new plan is to give it a big kick on a space walk.  Better not 'Bend it like Bekham' or it will curve right back and hit the station.  Remember the old WWII submarine movies with a 'hot torpedo' curving around and dum, dum, dum, barely missing?  or hitting. whatever, it's a movie.

So they'll end up with 2 guys in spacesuits holding onto the thing whilst no 3 pushes the un dock button and runs. Then the other 2 shove the thing way from the ISS before the thrusters fire and it's all a simple as that. IMHO with popcorn in hand.

Ha, sounds like Canadians in a snow storm. I always get the back.

I was thinking more that they couldn't even work the thrusters, so they pump it full of air, then release the lock and it zooms away like a kids water rocket.

Nice! Probably have to orient the ISS, so the pos is pointing at earth to make sure it never comes back.
