Good news, everyone: Earth has a new satellite! The newest hunk of space junk was inadvertently set into motion by a Historic! all-female space walk crew. It is currently following a trajectory that precedes the International Space Station (ISS) by two to four minutes and is bright enough to be seen with only the aid of a pair of ordinary binoculars.
NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara are currently on a science mission, living and working aboard the ISS microgravity laboratory. On Wednesday, Nov. 1, the pair completed an impressive 6-hour, 42-minute spacewalk, or extravehicular activity (EVA), during which they made some repairs, failed to make others, and lost a sack of equipment.

Here is some more info. I’m thinking they didn’t screen this person well enough.

Should have stayed in the ISS kitchen.
“If you drop a tool down the hole, you will be forgiven only if your hand is still attached to it when it hits bottom”
~ My boss on a drill rig many years ago ~
Was it a bag of hammers, or was it wrenches, wenches?
JK I’m sure those poor gals were exhausted after trying for an hour to loosen the bolt that some stupid MAN had tightened down.
Holy shit Joe6. If any of that’s true they need to put her in a bag a cut her lose. She makes Dr. Smith look like Richard Simmons.
She could burn up in the atmosphere on re-entry and nothing will be found of her. Deserved so.
Thirdtwin, a bag of pickle jars…
What ever. Dunces if procedure didn’t include a tether on tools, and yes, the tool box/bag.
.gov types knew this in the 70’s when dealing with work inside missle silos…. now we have a kinder, gentler, more diverse NASA.
It was another female astronaut that let free a bag of tools in space several years back. Affirmative action sucks!
p.s. How about a magnet on a string? A long string. Call ACME, they got stuff to the Coyote in seconds.
McHungry (not his real name) dropped a pair of linesman cutters on the glass roof of the Old Post Office in DC and broke a pane. This happened in the early 90s, and when I retired in 2017 the cops STILL asked if McHungry was on the crew.
“Magnets don’t work in outer space because there is no magnetic polarity without the jet stream and the Coriolis Effect.”
My first link to this story wasn’t easily opened. I hope this works better. No guarantees.

If I had their phone number, I would have called them.
“Excuse me, this is Houston, is your tool bag running away?”
“Yes it is”
“Well then, go chase it”
They couldn’t get the nut off so’s there little chance of getting a sammich…
Yeah Dr. Hambone, I remembered the other lost toolbag, too.

^^^^ That’s why her BF split.
“Around fifteen years ago the same thing happened to astronaut Heide Stefanyshyn-Piper* … “
Wow! another ‘Historic First’ for women! …. “oh, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuddddddgggggge”
*be cautious of wymyns w/ hyphenated names … a tip from your Uncle Molon
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ, also be cautious of wymyns who taught camera operators how to rewind tapes and somehow became Chief Engineer.
We never did figure out how she did that jump.
as someone that did a lot of maintenance & installation of beacon lighting, microwave transmitters, solar arrays, cell transmitters & receivers, etc. … practically anything that could be attached to elevated water tanks, standpipes, transmission towers, etc. …. you never wanted to drop gear or tools
… ’cause the crew below was gonna pay for your ‘eff’up
(‘course you don’t have that worry in space)
And once she was Chief there were more and more wymyns in the engineering meetings by the month. It got to the point that there were four dudes, and one of them was questionable. There used to be no wymyns but Jane, and she earned her job 100%… if not 150%. Jane was a better man than many men, and I don’t mean that in any funny way.
I knew at that point that we were fucked.
The lady astronettes were also heard complaining that the pockets in the spacesuits were too small and they couldn’t fit anything in them.
voice from the past: “where’s my purse?”
voice from the past: “does this make me look fat?”
Deduct the total cost of that bag from their pay!
Yay…affirmation action. LOL
For diversity sake and showing illegal immigrants in a good light, NASA will send an uneducated, spanish speaking (only) and untrained astro-naught on the next mission.
instead of the pretend-ian warren, killary, lizzo, & stacey – try emulating the brave & capable women air service pilots (wasp) of ww2. some lost their lives while serving.
Is there an actual reason we even have an “International Space Station”? Are there really people who think this is how we start building Star Ships and go on to explore outer space? Can we really stop killing each other long enough to make that happen?
cato; I hope they send ALL of them
