...so it sank all the way to bottom of the NASA film studio pool?
=o)
Yea, at 20 thousand miles an hour. Its a missal and will punch a big hole in anything it comes in contact with.
Bet they packed the Birkenstocks.
Plenty of room freed up sans razor & bra.
Last few times this happened it was women too.... Just saying is all....
“Former NASA astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper lost the bag during a November spacewalk to repair a bulky solar array joint on the International Space Station” - 2008
“Peggy Whitson, who became the world’s most experienced female spacewalker during the outing, told ground control teams that a bag containing the debris shield floated away at about 10am EDT/1400 GMT on Thursday.” - 2017
“ Hope it didn’t contain a hammer, travelling 15,000 miles per hour it could do some serious damage to their station on orbit.”
*****************************************************************
It would be going the same general speed as the space station and be in the same general orbit. In other words it would be “floating” around in the station’s vicinity as they both orbit the Earth.
OK, hopefully it doesn't float into something else in orbit not at the same speed.
Obviously, this is NASA’s fault for not selecting a tool bag more in keeping with the ladies’ color and style preferences.
Soo,who makes the sammich?
Women...tools...Just sayin’...
There’s a Tim Allen routine in there somewhere.
And how many Hundreds of thousands of dollars are in the now orbiting tool bag ???
Take My share of the money it’s going to cost to replace the “lost” tools and bag and cut that amount out of their Oxygen supply.
}{€££ the bag probably cost US TAXPAYERS $100,000.00 because it has a nasa label/patch on it...
I might pick up one of those.
I’ve heard the rumour of the $500 hammer, but I thought it was an old Navy joke.
And I get ticked off if a socket rolls underneath my truck....
Seriously!🤣
I always tell folks to slow down in space and look out for road debris. Better to take your time and get there in one piece.
You’ve got no idea of how expensive tools are and the process they have to go through to be certified to be used on spaceflight hardware. You think Snap-Ons are expensive, Ha! The RMRS requirements would twist your head around. And Tool bags floating around in orbit. I suppose they’ve never heard of positive retention. NASA never learns. I hope no one runs into X-pounds of tool steel at 15,000 mph, It will do more that damage the insulathion.
This is why you never lend your tools to women.
