'Oh Great': Astronaut Loses Tool Bag During Spacewalk
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,453845,00.htmlAstronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper was working on a solar panel when her grease gun exploded. As she was wiping the grease off her face shield, she let go of her tool box which floated off into space. Kinda like your wife or girlfriend dropping your Craftsman rench down a sewer.

"Earlier, the spacewalkers spotted a screw floating by, but were too far away to catch it. 'I have no idea where it came from,' Stefanyshyn-Piper told Mission Control.
"Mission Control said the screw was not considered a serious hazard, but did not immediately elaborate on the missing tool bag. Flight controllers were tracking its location in orbit."
Screw? What screw? Aw, you don't need that. There's plenty of screws....
Maybe we can send up another shuttle to rescue the tool bag.
Maybe they should be required to carry butterfly nets?
Oops.
Good thing she didn't drop her keys. They might have had to hot wire the damn thing for re-entry.
I'm just glad it wasn't me! she won't live that down in this century or even the next couple...
How do you "drop something" in space?
Is it for sure that the direction its going is down? HEY HALE-BOPP WE NEED AN ANSWER HERE!
logjam....what happens if you drop a fart?
"Dropping a fart" is a misnomer. A fart is actually released (voluntary or involuntary) and then wafts on its own in any medium.
