re a wrench in the works nanderso endor sim es com norman anderson writes jmcocker eos ncsu edu mitch writes effect that one of the ssrbs that was recovered after the recent space shuttle launch was found to have a wrench of some sort rattling around apparently inside the case i heard a similar statement in our local news utah tonight they referred to the tool as the pliers that took a ride into space they also said that a thiokol sp employee had reported missing a tool of some kind during assembly of one srb i assume then that someone at thiokol put on their manager s hat and said that pissing off the customer by delaying shipment of the srb to look inside it was a bad idea regardless of where that tool might have ended up why do i get the feeling that thiokol manager s hats are shaped like cones
