Just a scratch

I see NASA, in an official communiqué, are describing the damage to the underside of the space shuttle Endeavour as "a small ding", as if it had had a minor accident backing into the garage.

Endeavour is currently docked to the International Space Station, and some six US and one Canadian astronauts, along with the ISS's two Russian and one American crew, are enlarging the station, and replacing some broken bits. They're performing quite a large number of space walks, apparently, and may have to try to repair the underside of the shuttle.

Perhaps they've got some Isopon P38 on board? That should do it.
