Tool Kit Lost In Space - 2008-11-27, 18:10

Citat:
Veteran spacewalker and Endeavour astronaut Heide Stefanyshyn-Piper lost her grip on the backpack-sized bag on Nov. 18 while cleaning up a mess from a leaking grease gun she was carrying.

The grease was being used to help mop up metal grit from inside a massive gear that turns the space station's starboard solar wings.

The tool bag cost $100,000, and its loss meant astronauts had to share the remaining tool bag for subsequent spacewalks. The tool bag weighs about 30 pounds (14 kilograms) and is 20 inches (51 centimeters) wide, about a foot (30 centimeters) high and a hand's-width deep, according to John Ray, STS-126 lead spacewalk officer for the flight.

The bag contained two grease guns, a scraper tool, a large trash bag and a small debris bag.

Och verktygslådan, runt jorden, filmad av en amatör astronom:

Citat:
- Think of how far our technology has taken us. 14,000 years ago some dude lost his tool bag and we only just found it. Our friend Heide lost her tool bag last week in space and we found it already!
-- No it isn't, if someone lost their toolbag on earth today, it would still be a bitch to find it.

- That is one astronaut that will never hear the end of it.

- I'm sincerely grateful that none of my fuckups are orbiting the planet for anyone with a telescope to see.
-- Now, let's leave it there, so future generations can see how fucked up our tools were.

- Shoot it down. I want to be sure it's a toolbag and not some alien craft.
-- Sure, even it's an alien craft we've got to shoot it down instead of making contact with it peacefully and averting a global crisis which could lead us into an interstellar war.

- Call me crazy, but that's probably a meteorite.
-- You're crazy.
