James, Such anger. It is true he has no weight, but he still has inertia and esp an angular moment of inertia. So this man on a rope will have to make sure he does not get wrapped and drawn close as then any spin will wrap him ever faster into the shuttle. I expect he/she will go with care, with rope handlers and with the shuttle doing a very slow ballet beneath his position to bring the damaged place into view. No need to walk on it or touch it, just look at it. I am not sure if their suit would have it's own thrusters or if he would have to use other means if he wanted to get very close to the place(no handholds at all) Bill
