surprised?
In a space cadet “whoopsie” of cosmic proportions, an all-female astronaut team recently turned their historic spacewalk into a floating tool bag spectacle. Yes, in a true “Gravity” meets “I Love Lucy” moment, these NASA ladies managed to accidentally launch their very important toolkit straight into orbit. Talk about a star-studded slip-up, right? A tool bag is orbiting Earth, and night sky observers might catch a glimpse of it. NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara were conducting a spacewalk from the International Space Station (ISS) on November 2, 2023, when Moghbeli somehow let a tool bag slip away. The tool bag is now orbiting Earth just ahead of the International Space Station. It’s surprisingly bright (for a tool bag), shining just below the limit of visibility to the unaided eye at around magnitude +6. That means some sky observers should be able to pick it up with binoculars. The tool bag should remain in orbit around Earth for a few months, after which it’ll disintegrate in Earth’s atmosphere. Unlike the ISS, the tool bag will rapidly descend in orbit until, after a few months, it will reach about 70 miles (113 km) and disintegrate. Preliminary estimates indicate the tool bag should reenter the atmosphere around March 2024. The spacewalkers were conducting repairs on assemblies that allow the ISS solar arrays to track the sun continuously. A blog post at SciTechDaily, which was describing the spacewalk, explained: During the activity, one tool bag was inadvertently lost. Flight controllers spotted the tool bag using external station cameras. The tools were not needed for the remainder of the spacewalk. Mission Control analyzed the bag’s trajectory and determined that risk of recontacting the station is low and that the onboard crew and space station are safe with no action required. |

I wonder how many films Hollywood will squeeze out of this historic event.

Astronauts dropping tools in space and them floating away has been a thing since space walks were a thing. Lots of them have done it, both men and women.
It's not a happy thing mind you, not saying it is and it's for sure to be avoided. Also saying "all female" really doesn't apply to the topic, as men have certainly done the same thing. |

Have you ever known a a woman that wasn’t always looking for their purse?
|

I read an article somewhere that stated the last time a tool bag was lost on a spacewalk it was worth over $100,000.
That’s an expensive mistake. |
|

Meh I can’t be mad or criticize them. I drop tools all the time. Not in outer space mind you. Mostly out of my bucket truck.
|
|
Did they leave the bag on the roof of the space station and then drive off?
Was anybody’s cell phone in the bag? They’ll be calling the space police to go get that back when it turns up in a rough orbital neighborhood according to the find my phone app. |

Back to the kitchen!
Seriously though, the LtCol is as an impressive leader as is her story of how she became. |

We know we're retarded, I bought refill razor blades and I was like "oh sweet hardened edge" but it had two more serrations and I forced it to fit and now I'm out a $15 knife whenever this cheap blade dulls. Meanwhile we're sending women to space that don't realize tools are a bazillion dollars. I made a choice to force it out of anger and because if I fucked it up it was $15, what is this chicks excuse |

How many bags can they have up there? They keep losing them!

The struggle is real. My wife is losing stuff all the time.
|

As much as I enjoy jokes teasing women,
this could've happened to anybody. I remember some female astronaut that made an amazing catch of a tool or hardware back in the late '90s or early '00s. I'm not white-knighting, and I'll still LMFAO at the good punchlines! |

Careless or negligent. Accidentally denotes an occurrence without a cause or fault, and is used to excuse fault.

|
Some string and a D ring clip is too much to use to not lose things?

Did any of them use a wood chisel to remove carpet staples? If so one of them might be related to my wife.

Here is a video of the first woman on the Moon; this mission was covered up for obvious reasons.
The first woman who went to the moon, but never returned. |

The phone however probably made it back to earth. |

My wife is losing/forgetting stuff all the time. This is not surprising.

Female astronauts?
How many cars did they cut-off trying to get into space? |
|
You would have thought the people in charge would wait for the PR announcement of the “First Women” nonsense until they are sure that the missions was a success.
|
|
|
You know deep down they want to blame each other for it, but are self aware enough to realize that would be the second obvious feminine failing on display if they did.

Looks like the folks at NASA are going to make a run to Harbor Freight.
