NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’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...

“It’s not like they gave her real tools.”

One is a teat pilot with 150 combat missions.

And you?

How many space walks have you made?

None - then shut up you have no right to speak.

Isn’t that cute the way that works?!

Put this in the search line — title:tool

It was posted yesterday...

```````````````````````````````````````````````````
The FR search works best if you confine it to one or two significant words of the title (usually one is all you need) and stay away from words of three characters or less. Those don’t work at all.

And avoid typos by using cut and paste rather than typing the words in.

Also, it appears that some people are not choosing the “Title” option in the pull down. That’s required if you wish to search by title.

Do you have any idea how much tax I paid last year buying my new supercharged V8 ZL-1 to pay for this?
