Clue/Question:  The orbiting space junk turned the astronaut into a . . .

Answer:  VACUUM CLEANER

(I thought this was sufficiently difficult for a Sunday Jumble!  All the clue words were fairly challenging.  And, the answer letters came out in a way as not to give anything away.  English teachers, please critique the previous sentence!  A couple of past tense verbs today.  I’m cool with that, but I know some purists don’t like it.  Oh, yeah!  And, our friend Lesley was correct about “errors” from about a week, or so, ago.  That is just the plural of *error*, a noun.  The verb is: to err.  “Errors” was not a legitimate clue word, Mr. Hoyt.   No complaints, from me, about today’s clue words, though.  Funky looking Great Lakes ya got there, Jeff!  That is what it’s supposed to be, right?  I think you’re missing my Ontario.  Enjoy what’s left of the weekend, guys and gals!)   —   YUR
