thank goodness we are not in space!

Maybe someday an alien will find the bag and say "darn, I needed a phillips!"

thank goodness we are not in space!

yet another thing to worry about along with
steam burns
skinned knuckles
broken fingernails
aching back

and now the biggy--my tools could float off if i were in space!

Timco

At least when you burn yourself, no one would hear you scream!

Space ain't so bad

My tools apparently float off anyway, gravity notwithstanding.

I hear you humans have the same problem.

Now THAT

is comedy!

I wonder, while they are at it, (searching for that bag of tools), they might come across several tape measures, utility knives, carpenter's pencils and plumb bobs which have gone missing over the years from my tool box.


I also noted, -however unfairly but it is factually accurate-, that the tech who lost the tool bag -when her compact, uh, I mean a grease gun exploded no less- was a woman...

I am not going to touch that one -until I need to anyway.

Or swear...

Apparently they've never heard of the word "tether". I wonder if along with all our tools they'll find all the missing socks up there too.

tools in space

Kinda takes the heat off of Gus Grissom though. Now she'll be known as " that woman who lost her tools in space" Too bad, I read the article, and i couldn't tell you her name.

\"Take the heat off of Gus Grissom\"?

The poor guy died in a fire for crying out loud. ;I

What else did he do? I used to know, maybe forgot.

You would think on a $100,000 tool bag, it would be tethered to something. I wonder who will have to pay for that one. Watched the news footage of the "mishap"
at lunch, she never even attempted to grab the bag. Why in space would you not attempt to grab a $100k tool bag? And I want to know why do they need such expansive tools? Craftsman and Husky not good enough for NASA? LOL

poor Gus

It was alleged that he blew the expolsive bolts before the navy had the capsule hooked, and the capsule sank to the bottom of the Ocean. He denied it, and there must have been some credibility since he remained with the space program to later tragically die on the launch pad. I'm not sure where I saw/ read it Gus "bolt blower" Grissom was his albatross.
I think that capsule would be worth more than 100K in '08 dollars, but I'm not sure it was his fault anyway.
Too much history/discovery channel

They will now spend 10 millions dollars on a panel
study on how to keep this from happing.

They will decide on a super tether. The strap made
in one congressmans district. The bag clip in another and
the part that clips to the anchor point in another. For a bargin basement price of 10k a piece.

That's what they get for sending a rocket scientist to do a contractor's job...
