For someone man or woman to loose a tool kit working in the most hostile environment known to mankind seems to me would come under acceptable or expected loss. No such mission is without this risk. The ones up their risked their very lives to do a mission for our nation. The concern at the time was the ruptured grease pack and my guess would also be doing a damage assessment from it.

How many life and death task do you juggle at once in your line of work? IOW give the person a break. $100K accidents on the job or rather losses occur many times a day in our nation. Believe it or not in most cases the person goes on with the job at the same company. We call them accidents all a fact of life. Had she intentionally tossed the pack out and said Whee watch this folks then I could see reason for complaining. Given the venue and complexity of the job she was doing somehow I don't think anyone posting on the thread would be qualified to do any better.

Post 72 was actually meant to post to you. But me thinks some protest too much over this matter.

I don’t care much that she dropped the tools. Happens all the time in a lot of professions. I just don’t see how a small bag of tools is $100k. My guess is more government waste. Privatize NASA. I bet the price of the “special” tools would mysteriously drop through the floor.
