(49,112 posts)Radioactive things that can be transferred by touch, such as powders, are protected by shielding.
The reason for the sign is that touching can transfer skin oils and acids to the surface and disturb the finish which appears to be critical for mission success.

(9,426 posts)seems to automatically join the republican party. It is SO much easier than trying to pretend to be smart for the democratic party. Plus, all the other dumbasses accept you, unconditionally. Look who their "LEADER" is!! Look at who their leader sends in to take his place at the table with world leaders!!

(23,047 posts)He'll make some inevitable reference to God or "under Heaven" or some such. He adds that in at EVERY opportunity. Appears, once again, to be busy doing the "noisy gong and clanging cymbal" thing - as Paul the Apostle put it in 1Corinthians.
1 Corinthians 13New International Version (NIV)
13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Do Not Touch is different from "Do Not Touch".
Hugin
(33,251 posts)It means, this is a delicious snack in 5 different languages.
If it wasn't in the quotes it would be like poisonous or something.

(13,638 posts)When shit says "Do Not Touch" they aren't making a joke.
I have been on the "private tour" and when you don't touch, you don't touch.
Pence may have screwed something up. He's an idiot.

(31,464 posts)It looks seriously Photoshopped. The hand is huge, totally out of proportion. The shadows are wrong. And even a stupid Republican like Pence isn't going to place his hand on a Do Not Touch sign while dozens of photographers are present. Has anyone authenticated this?

(25,914 posts)Here's a snip from Time:
Reuters photographer Mike Brown was there to capture the moment, and people are spreading the snapshot with all the jokes about rule-breaking.
Every time I think these assholes couldn't sink any lower, they sink lower.

Someone pointed out that "DO NOT TOUCH" was in quotes. That makes it like "tapes".

"Procedures require the hardware to be cleaned before tiles are bonded to the spacecraft, so touching the surface is okay," Jacobs said in an email. "Otherwise, the hardware would have had a protective cover over it like the thermal heat shield, which was nearby.
