I tried searching to see if this has been posted before and I couldn't find it, so my apologies if it's been posted already.

I thought this was short and interesting and super nerdy. I heard about this video from the Two Broke Watch Snobs podcast.

 

If I was an astronaut I would tell them I don't want the X-33. I asked to be fitted with an Ed White.

Cool video.

 

He makes it look so natural. Imagine the mindf*ck of working in zero g!

 

I suppose dust isn't as much of "the enemy" in zero G either. I personally found the tape very clever

 

They called it "fixed", but at the end of the video, the crown still wasn't on it,

 

@MTROIS check out this video in zero G!

 

Haha, what prompted the revival?

There was a damaged screen X-33 auction today too

 

I’ve been looking at the old threads. Sort of fun to see what was important a few years back (e.g., white side of the moon).

 

Probably the best "hack" repair I have ever seen!!

In any case, I will state again how great the X-33 watch is. It has been enjoying quite some wrist time since I got mine.

 

Lesson #1: with an x33 and a leatherman, you can go around the earth. Ha!

 

Is that the lesson? Or is it that the x-33 isn’t up to the mission.,.

 

Apparently it is, since it’s still used today on ISS.

 

The battery kind of shot away from the guy doing the video. He kind of minimizes the issue with small parts. What happens in the space station when tiny parts, accumulated from years of one or two getting loose, start floating around? Seems like it could be a problem.

Seems a standard springbar could be even more dangerous than it is back here on terra firma.
