Fun fact

When two pieces of metal collide in outer space, they weld together. Indeed, because there’s no atmosphere up there to protect them, we’re witnessing “cold welding”. This phenomenon was first observed in the 1960s when astronauts realised they could no longer close the door of their spaceship because a number of metallic parts had fused together... whoops!
