A couple of astronauts on the International Space Station were having some trouble fixing a bolt on the outside of their orbiting home. It needed cleaned off so it would properly fit, but the ISS for some reason lacked a brush that could be used to do that and be used by spacesuited astronauts.
So Sunita Williams and Akihido Hoshide found some tape, a toothbrush and a piece of metal they could grip in their suit gauntlets and a gen-u-wine space station fixer doodad was deployed and allowed them to clean and successfully seat the bolt.
So far NASA has refused to comment on the rumor that the pair were planning to reveal a warp drive powered by dental floss.

Seriously? Dental floss warp drive? That's the best you could do?
ISS saved by duct tape.
MacGyver alive and well in space.
You're slipping old bean.
I was just wishing ;-)
Actually, given NASA's current lack of vision, I'm surprised that they didn't cancel their participation in the program in response to the problem
