If some extraterrestian life finds the tool, maybe it will mean one less UFO sighting over a Home Depot store.

Typical stupid liberal union worker losing his tools so he could have an excuse to go home early and watch the football game.

Why did the tool bag float off?

It was orbiting the Earth just like the space station and the spacewalking astronaut, so it should have stayed next to her.

This is going to be a gold mine for the late night talk shows. Why, dear Lord, did it have to happen to a woman. Stereotypes aside, I am sure this cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and will be added to the list of things for your grandchildren''s children to pay for in the years to come.

"Astronette lubricating joint experiences eruption. Lets go of sack prematurely. Climax of mission so far"

Stefanyshyn-Piper - the first woman to be assigned as lead spacewalker for a shuttle flight ----------

It was one of the largest items ever to be lost by a spacewalker--------------

the spacewalkers spotted a screw floating by, but were too far away to catch it. "I have menno idea where it came from," Stefanyshyn-Piper told Mission Control. --------------

Ah, women

If you ever saw the video of the very first American spacewalk (I think is was Alan White back in Gemini), you get an idea of how hard that is. He was so exhausted after just 20 minutes or so, that he almost couldn''t get back in the craft. Apparently, it was a near disaster.

So, I wouldn''t be too hard on her for losing some tools.

1. Was she topless when this happened?

2. I also lost a toolbag in space, someone suggested
I look in uranus, somehow lots of tools end up there.

The billions spent on the ISS and they didn''t use greaseless bearings? Hats off to the designer. Doh!!
