Historic All-Female Space Walk Crew Accidentally Drops Tool Bag Into Orbit
PJ Media ^ | 14 Nov 2023 | Athena Thornea

inadvertently set into motion by a Historic! all-female space walk crew. It is currently following a trajectory that precedes the International Space Station (ISS) by two to four minutes and is bright enough to be seen with only the aid of a pair of ordinary binoculars.

NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral Oโ€™Hara are currently on a science mission, living and working aboard the ISS microgravity laboratory. On Wednesday, Nov. 1, the pair completed an impressive 6-hour, 42-minute spacewalk, or extravehicular activity (EVA), during which they made some repairs, failed to make others, and lost a sack of equipment.

On its blog, NASA reported...

At one point, an errant bag of equipment broke free from its captors and headed out into open space. UK space-ocrat Dr. Meganne Christian posted video of the moment the renegade tool bag made its bold escape from Historic! astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, whose fingers can be seen in shadow, grasping after it...

They probably threw them away not knowing their worth.

Well, that’s embarrassing.

Wonder how much that costs to replace? Somebody needs to dock their pay.

And so, in an infant civilization galaxy, far, far away, they get a little jump start.

I guess these women need a Bag Man.
(or a tranbagman?)
Anyway, don’t send a woman to do a man’s job.

“At one point, an errant bag of equipment broke free from its captors and headed out into open space.”

Run, Forest! RUN! *SMIRK*

The bag of tools just cost ‘We The People’ a million bucks, but no matter...

Would this have even been reported were an all male crew, I wonder?

Its not like there are a lot of extra spare tools on the ISS, to lose.

They are downplaying how badly they did because they are female astronauts. If men did this badly it’d be described much differently and it would jeopardize their careers.

On-board astronaut over intercom: “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Female spacewalker: “Nothing.”

when this was posted before there were lots of good comments.

Unfortunately I could not find a link, even though search still works.

People have been littering in space for at least 60 years.

One of the arguments against a previous advanced space capable race of pr flood humans, neanderthals, some extinct species of Atlanteans or anything else is the lack of orbiting space debris

Men don’t drop their tools, and if they do, there will be manly cursing and much ridicule from other men.

Only kidding...we DO drop our tools, and there is still much cursing and ridicule from other men!

In my experience they’re always leaving something somewhere.
