Lost In Space: Toolbox Is Spotted

[Nostalgia]

A toolbox that was dropped by an astronaut and has been left drifting in space can be seen all the way from Earth.


Lost in space, toolbox is spotted

The box, which was lost by Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper last week, is believed to be one of the biggest man-made items missing in the cosmos.

Space enthusiasts across the world have been getting their telescopes out, hoping to catch a glimpse of it.

The bag, worth $100,000 (£67,000), has so far been spotted and filmed by a space watcher in Ontario, Canada.

Amateur astronomer Kevin Fetter used a high-spec telescope to find it and posted the footage on YouTube.

The backpack-sided tool kit floated away from Stefanyshyn-Piper while she was completing a repair job outside the International Space Station.

She noticed that a grease gun she was using to lubricate a solar panel joint had exploded in her tool bag. As she tried to clean it out, the bag slipped away and drifted off.

Cmon dude!
don't be naive. Toilet broken + toolbox in orbit ?? You don't have to be Einstein to sum it up. I bet you those 100.000$ that you wouldn't found a silicon pistol inside that box but a big, smelly astronaut pupu
