Monkey Arms

Click below for an article about Scott Parazynski who fixed the ripped solar panel on the ISS:

The commanders of the ISS and Space Shuttle are women; a fact much-touted in the media. But the dangerous job fell to a man.

Also nice is the comment by the Shuttle commander about Parazynski having "monkey arms." Perhaps a bit innocuous, but imagine a male commander saying something equivalent about a female astronaut.
