And their satellite antenna has a tennis ball on top

"The spacewalkers hope they can use Kapton tape to hold the backpack latches in place when they make their next spacewalk on Wednesday. The tape is like duct tape but slippery [?0and able to withstand both frigid cold and fiery hot temperatures."

Apparently, CNN is working with an egregiously weak command of simile. Other potential choices below.

"The tape is like a pretty pink ribbon that the astronaut can use to wrap the best Christmas in July present ever, his ability to return home safely."

"The tape has the ability of icicles to withstand frigid cold temperatures, but, unlike icicles, can also stand heat."

"The backpacks are like fanny packs, worn not around the waist, but on the back. And with engines."

"The tape provides a convenient excuse for us to make the clever connection between space shuttle repairs and sloppy fixes you'd do at home. Except not so convenient. And not so clever."
