I was watching the other day during the spacewalk when they manually tried to shake that solar array to get it to retract.  I would pay money to have them beat it with a baseball bat or crowbar today.  Or maybe kick it.

It was funny watching him use the "Scraper Tool", which was nothing more than a windshield ice scraper wrapped in that insulating tape.

earlier one of the astronauts said "If anyone down there has a few brain cells to spare..."

I missed the rest 'cause I was laughing...
