What Astronaut Boot Camp Looks Like

It's not clear that Mark is guilty, because it just says that he was holding the skillet in his left hand, flipping pancakes. It doesn't make clear that he wasn't using a spatula with his right hand. I'm right-handed, so I'll hold the pan with my left hand, and the implement with my right. If it had made clear that Mark was flipping the pancakes with just the pan, it would have been clearer.
