Have there been other EVA's where they have gone back to connect to the SCA to "top up" with more oxygen?

I think I head the limiting consumable will be Bueno's batteries.

I think I heard that the ground wanted Mass to do a suit O2 top off while he was back at the airlock, so that the limiting consumable would be Bueno's suit batteries at 9 hours.
Have there been other EVA's where they have gone back to connect to the SCA to "top up" with more oxygen?
Yes, and I believe that they just did this on EVA-2.

Talk about a sideways EVA...this is starting to look a lot like Apollo 16 when John Young and Charkie Duke broke just about everything they touched...Mass is starting to sound a bit pissy...I don't know if he was going back in the rotation or not, but I can't see him flying again...

Yes they said that was the limiting consumable but it would be good for a 9 hour eva if I heard correctly.

The good thing is that they are close to the airlock. It's not like the ISS where they are concerned with all the tether swaps and such, delaying their translation along the outside of the modules.
Difficulty is a good reminder of why they are there. They may be sounding frustrated, but they just want things to go as smooth as possible to get the job done faster, for either get-aheads, or get out of those tight and uncomfortable suits too.

Tools break, the HST been in space for nearly 2 decades. give him a break.
