What's Happening on Paracord Planet
Did you know that paracord has not only been taken into space, but has been used to repair spacecraft?
"Hubble Servicing Mission 2" in 1997 involved using a couple of unconventional fixes. Repair materials included: teflon insulation with velcro, paracord, copper wire, and plastic ties. Good thing those astronauts wore their survival bracelet on the outside of their spacesuit… okay, maybe that's not how it happened.
We've got some out-of-this-world updates to share with you this fall!
