[TML] Astronaut prepares to risk life for spacewalk

[Traveller at dhimaging.com.au]

I think it's incredible that two astronauts - working side by side - can
have a temperature difference of hundreds of degrees.  If one is in the
shade of the shuttle and the isn't, the temperature extremes are incredible.
What quality control measures are taken for tools and instruments that are
exposed to such wildly different and quickly-changing temperatures?

One of the early shuttle astronauts once said described being in space as
"anything you don't know can kill you. Anything you forget can kill you.
Anything you don't bring with you can kill you." Or something to that
effect. Wish I could find the quote on the web.
