The astronauts had planned to remove and stow a communications electronics box called the Radio Frequency Group, but there was not enough time during the spacewalk to complete the work.

Not enough time? because they worked way too slow?

[Tell It Right]

Astronauts Jasmin or Loral to their husbands: Honey, I cleaned up the garage.

Husband: No wonder I can't find my tools.

Their exposure to radiation....................

[MayflowerMadam]

I hate when that happens. Girls and toolboxes ...

[Red Badger]

Just wait until they rearrange the furniture in the middle of the night.....................

[beethovenfan]

Well, go get it.

[1Old Pro]

Their exposure to radiation..

That's what happens when they took twice as long to complete the first job. Didn't leave time for the second.

These bags typically cost around $100,000. This is not the first bag “dropped” by a female astronaut during a spacewalk.

The tool bag contained 15 10 mm sockets

Do they have husbands?

[Red Badger]

I don’t think they understand the gravity of the situation................

[Red Badger]

Or a Starlink satellite or two.................

[dfwgator]

Or a Space Station....

[woodbutcher1963]

Imagine the cost for the Snap On tool truck to make that delivery?

[DouglasKC]

Two women astronauts...no comment.

[RinaseaofDs]

Ha!

Perfect.

This has happened before. First female spacewalk didn’t go very well, losing tools again. That one decided to drill a hole in the connecting corridor. The Russians handled it very professionally.

She insisted on being sent home in the lifeboat capsule. NASA said it doesn’t work like that, wait six months for the next bus. She started acting out immediately, and then she drilled the hole.

We’re never going to learn.

I bet they still got their makeup bag.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

They look like they are the husbands.

[1Old Pro]

I bet they still got their makeup bag.

I don't think Loral wears makeup, if you get my drift.
