Jim’s Daily Rant. You Can’t Fix Stupid. Part II – Dancing Mickey Space Walking.

If you haven’t read the first part of this Rant, please do so first. Part I – You Can’t Fix Stupid. A Four Month Sided Rubik's Cube.

Prior to the first US space walk a problem was given to Engineers.

Problem: If the astronaut lost is handhold his body would float forever in space.

Possible Solution:

Secure him with a Safety Line.

However, if he floated out and pulled his line, he would crash into the craft and severely be harmed. He could not stop the acceleration until the crash.

Analysis:

The Engineers were stymied until one was home playing with his child.

He was pushing a spring operated button on his Dancing Mickey Mouse toy.

Micky was in an upright position with his hands reaching out.

Push the button up and down and he fell and jumped upright, dancing.

The screwdriver equipped Engineer discovered the secret was a string pulled through little beads. Pushing the button added more string making the tight string of pearls go limp.

Final Solution:

A Lifeline with beads. As the Astronaut got close, he simply pulled the remaining line making it a short stick to stop the crash.
