Fascinating the uses there are for duct tape - on the 'True Story of Apollo 13' which aired here last night it showed how the astronauts survival literally depended on their adapting an air filter using guess what - duct tape and the plastic wrapper off their undies
! Can you just imagine when they were packing the space ship - "yep there we go 7 sets of undies and wait a minute - oh yes we'll pop the duct tape in as well just in case"
