Interesting newspeak coming out of NASA lately.  I read
in the paper (2/12/84 Bosto Globe) how that maneuver to
recover that piece of hardware that went floating out of
the cargo bay during a spacewalk was a remarkable success.
It consisted of the pilot using the thrusters to move the
shuttle a few feet so that one of the astronauts (who was
tethered) could recover the thing. The wonders of technology!
