brain fade in space

Mission specialist Rick Linnehan, inside the Space Station, had given a space walker a convoluted sequence of disconnecting and connecting tethers. The astronaut paused. Then asked for the instructions again. Rick repeated. The space walker was hovering (mentally, that is). Then he apologised to Rick: "I'm sorry. I've got space brain. Can you repeat that?"

Happens to the best of 'em, I guess.
