"Houston, When's the Snap-On Truck Coming By?"

Tool Bag Now "Lost in Space"

But Stefanyshyn-Piper isn't the first person to drop something in space. Bulky gloves and weightlessness have led to a history of some clumsy moments at NASA.

Here are some recent examples of astronauts accidentally adding to the thousands of pieces of junk already in space . . .:

Does the lifetime warranty cover burning up on re-entry?

Being NASA, the bag and contents probably cost around $3 million!!

Snap-On probably doesn't stock a titanium-carbide grease gun in the back of that truck...

If the uber $$ one exploded I shudder to imagine what would happen to a china tool in space

$100K for the lost tool kit, seems like a better value then the same $ for a toilet seat. Speaking of lost, I understand they can't' find a spider they took along, must be in the tool box.

Gives a whole new meaning to "Rocket Science"
