Astronauts to get putty for small holes

There's nothing silly about the new putty substance astronauts will be getting once the shuttle flights resume again. The putty can be used to fill and repair cracks, holes, and scratches in the wings prior to reentry in to the atmosphere. While this new space putty couldn't have prevented the Columbia's demise, it's one step closer to have an in-space solution for repairs, with the next flight scheduled for March. Remember folks, the only reason the dinosaurs are extinct is because they didn't have a space program.
