NASA has hit a significant problem. Two fasteners are stuck.
Nice click out of one….
Four is binding, and it seems they’ve dropped into a false-set.
And binding on five.
And back to one
I’m the designated jar opener in my family, if they bring it to my couch while I’m watching the news, I’m sure I can get it open in a couple seconds. Then they can say the customary thank you, which is “oh, I must have loosened it.” and then leave.
“oh, I must have loosened it.” and then leave.
I take the jar, open it, say “That was easy, here, you try” before putting the lid back on really tight.
Have they tried running it under hot water for a minute or so?
Just tap it with the handle of a table knife
You gotta run it under the tap for a minute first, to help loosen it up.
Multiple combination wrenches (spanners). Most other brute force methods are obviously out.
Use a hex bit on the bolt, one small wrench to grip the bit and chain a few wrenches together for leverage. They will wrap around in an approximate circle for a small space.
Naw it’s obviously BFH time!
They are working in a small sealed space, filled with nitrogen and only a small access hatch. So … SFH?
Tiny fucking air hammer, they’ll get dental tools and get it open.
Add a tiny fucking blowtorch and they might just break those bolts.
A little WD-40 should take care of it!
Maybe they should take this as a sign…
For ?
A sign they shouldn’t over-torque fasteners of course.
It has thargoid sensor fragments inside
If not friend, then why flower shaped?
They’re Love-me-nots, you have to pluck the petals
Do they not have hammers?
Kid I used to work with said:
“Hand me that torch. Can’t be seized-up if it’s dripping out in the floor.”
Pressurized airline fitting was just straight whoopin his fuckin ass…
I think he wore sunglasses in the shop so he could never see the lightyear-wide greenhorn shitstain he left in his wake. Been three years and I still find one of his fuckups every now and again. His tech manual for every vehicle was the top two or three hits on SploogeToob…
He’d definitely have that lid, the container it’s in and everything else in the lab turned to pure watery shit by now… “What do ya mean it’s contaminated? I used a thousand dollar MATCO grinder!!!”
Oddly enough, I miss that little motherfucker every now and again. He was definitely entertaining.
Yeah, you know he drove a fuckin Miata. Convertible…
Just put a length of scaff tube on the end of the spanner….lean into it real good.
If that fails it must be time for the BFH
If that fails get a BBFH
Then Scaff tube again
Then call old mate to smash it with a BBBFH while you lean on the scaff tube.
Canna pb blaster canna map gas and a match and I got u nasa
