ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Shuttle astronauts to rewire space station

If the shuttle flies over reno, do they need a city-issued "Journeyman Card" and state EC license to be legal?

Gentlemen, I believe you are underestimating the gravity of the situation.
Next thing you know, we'll have Russian Hacks floating in from their Space-Station, working from the back of a converted Lada van for $10 an hour, putting our boys outa woik and throwing their vodka bottles out of the portholes!

Something must be done!


Space joke.

"Irish Stew."
"What's that got to do with space?"

Of course they will have no trouble re wiring the shuttle, after all they are already "Journey"-men!

By the way, are they required to have floating neutrals?

Romex or M/C cable ?? Which do you think they are using ??

"Hello Houston-are you sure we need all these arc fault breakers?"

My recollection after the Apollo 1 fire was that they started using fireproof, Teflon-insulated wire.

Since NASA's technology hasn't changed much in the last 30 years, I expect that's still what they're using.

They are covered by the other NEC (NASA Electrical Code), or the SEC (Space Electrical Code), or maybe the OVEC (Orbital Vehicle Electrical Code), or maybe the SSEC (Space Station Electrical Code), or maybe even the IGEC (InterGalactic Electrical Code) or the AEC (Astronautical Electrical Code), or the OEC (Orbital Electrical Code)..

You don't enforce "Up Is On", you enforce In Is On, with push/pull breakers.

LMAO

That was pretty good John.

I don't guess 'strain releif' is an issue up there.....
