Even if all this succeeds, Spektr can't be used until the cosmonauts patch up the damage to its skin. On Sept. 3 Solovyev and Vinogradov are booked for a second walk--this one outside Mir--during which they'll crawl around the module looking for any punctures, which they hope to seal with rubbery "hermetic patches."

So for peace of mind I would take a beautiful crunchy Granny Smith apple out to the bank of the Charles every day, sit down on a patch of grass, close my eyes, try to recreate my tabula rasa and slowly concentrate on each and every bite until even the core was gone.
