Fat people should be able to plug hull breaches by standing

[Berrik]

on them, at the cost of cold damage (but not oxy, because your fat ass is plugging the hole).

i made this

[VictorMAngoStein]

step 1: Humanize monkeys
step 2: give them obesity
step 3: plug holes all over station

It's like metal foam that sweats and farts!

[Winklabom]

Haha, wow.

Those breached floors are actually better than just perfectly square holes leading to space.

This thread was actually inspired by a short Robert Heinlein story where a hull breach is indeed sealed by a fat guy sitting on it until rescue can arrive.

I know that Farmer in the sky had a guy using his scout uniform to plug a hole, but what short story is that?

Meat cubes should be able to do the same, perhaps turning themselves into a meatstation floor (except simulated) or something.

I honestly don't even remember as I havn't read it in 20 years or more. It was one of the short stories.
