The Air Force is evaluating disks coated with adhesive-filled microcapsules that would break when pressed against the exterior of a spacecraft. The released adhesive would firmly cement the disk to the craft, providing an anchor for an astronaut walking or working in space. Similar encapsulated adhesives would simplify the joining of parts under water...
