Toothbrush to the Rescue!

Have you ever been threatened that your toothbrush would be used to clean the toilet? Well, an astronaut on the International Space Station used his to clean a bolt. The bolt was sticking and was not cooperating with the astronauts, so they decided to improvise and tie a toothbrush to a metal pole to clean the pole with.

The standard EVA takes about eight hours with only six hours in space, but since the bolt wasn't cooperating, the astronauts had to stay in the suits for ten hours! The worst part is there is no bathroom and no food!
