The bolt didn't stop. It has a speed of 17,502 mph for half its orbit and 17,498 the other half. Both the ISS and the bolt will return to the same node at the same time.

"Things that are sticky here are not sticky in space. That's interesting. How come?"

I meant meant to say "not always" sticky, and I don't remember why. I'll have to research that.

My guess is that many/most sticky materials will outgas/dry quickly in vacuum. Aside from Kapton tape -- that stuff stays sticky no matter what...
