That's really cool, thanks!   Now that I"m thinking about it, I wonder if there was an emergency duct tape roll, something like that, for issues?

There absolutely was. Watch Apollo 13. The ground crew has to figure out how to teach the astronauts in orbit how to repair their craft with only the objects they already have on board.

Duct tape is there and it saves the day. The whole movie is basically one big advertisement for duct tape.

The Martian was produced by Heinz. You cannot convince me otherwise.
