Re: TidyingRob Navias reports that, contrary to the original plan, Russian experts determined that the EVA team will not need to re-cover the work-site with thermal blanketing.
I'm gonna call it that they won't repair the gash, just leave it as is.
The NASA Safety Department must be in defibrillation.
How do you tidy up the entire orbital plane now with all this debris? Yes, I know some of the debris will decay orbit in a number of months/years... but still.

What was the gain for exposing spacewalkers to knife blades and sharp edges, and creating a year-long cloud of debris in that orbital plane? The NASA Safety Department must be in defibrillation.
