“analyzed the bag’s trajectory and determined that risk of recontacting the station is low and that the onboard crew and space station are safe”
So it’s not like dropping a wrench or hammer on your foot down here. The hammer or wrench will just drift away.
It will make a beautiful meteor show!......….......

This has happened before. First female spacewalk didn’t go very well, losing tools again. That one decided to drill a hole in the connecting corridor. The Russians handled it very professionally.
She insisted on being sent home in the lifeboat capsule. NASA said it doesn’t work like that, wait six months for the next bus. She started acting out immediately, and then she drilled the hole.
We’re never going to learn.
You’ve got no idea of how expensive tools are and the process they have to go through to be certified to be used on spaceflight hardware. You think Snap-Ons are expensive, Ha! The RMRS requirements would twist your head around. And Tool bags floating around in orbit. I suppose they’ve never heard of positive retention. NASA never learns. I hope no one runs into X-pounds of tool steel at 15,000 mph, It will do more that damage the insulathion.
