The jokes just write themselves.

During a rare all female space walk, a bag of tools slipped into orbit.

The last tool bag that was lost was valued at $100,000

I'll sell them my Craftsman Mechanic's tool set for 100k. I even augmented it with a spark plug socket.

10mm, 9/16" 3'4", I probably have 17 of each, none ever on hand.

Its $100k now, and later when it flies into the space station or some other space craft it'll kill someone or do millions in damages...

Although losing an expensive tool bag would be noteworthy it pales in comparison to losing the Mars Climate Orbiter.

Surprised it doesn't happen more often.  Gloves suck enough as it is.  Gloves on a space suit would have to suck way more.

If NASA had Prada or Coach make the bags, I bet they would've been properly tethered to their body.

You'd think it would have a double lanyard like a safety harness so it's never not attached to something.

I'd say the person(s) responsible got lazy and skipped the pre-mission checklist, or at least the task(s) related to securing the bag.

If this were true, that seems scary AF.

Skipping the checklist makes sense.  There was more excitement about being the first all female space walk, that something important as tethering a piece of gear can get overlooked.

Checklists are just an artificial construct of the White Patriarchy.

Feminism has set us free from those constructs.

There's no way you'll get north of $80K without the piece that keeps the plug from falling out of the socket.

This what was I was coming in here to say. I thought everything was (double) tethered so you always have positive contract even when switching positions.

I probably won't find that 10mm at the corner where my road meets the highway.

I've found 2 10mm sockets, a 10mm open end wrench, a 1/2" open end wrench, and a couple short extensions, on the shoulder in the 1st 100ft after I turn that corner on my bike rides. They must either fall off the bumper or roll off the frame rails when my neighbors make the turn.

Damn astronettes strike again! This isn’t the first tool bag that’s been dropped by an astronette, either.

I guess technically she didn’t lose it. NASA knows exactly where it is.

Fuck, I have to tether ALL my tools on an 8’ ladder, including my 2 pound mini sledge. With a 6’ lanyard, because it has to be tethered to the ladder, and good luck swinging it with a 3’ lanyard. Perfect length to bounce, swing, and catch someone right in the nuts as they walk by. Makes sense, don’t it? It’s even better with a hammerdrill, which is heavy enough to pull your ladder over and take you with it. SAFETY!

But these brainless fuckheads get to go EVA with $100,000 tools supplied by friggin’ NASA without tying them off, and fucking drop them in outer-fucking-space, without being immediately and summarily fired?

Yup, life ain’t fair.
