Discovery spacewalkers lost a 14-inch-long spatula Pancakes in space!
Think how far the pancakes would fly if they flipped them into space with a 14-inch-long spatula. The bolt may be close to the ISS, but those pancakes would be long gone.

"Things that are sticky here are not sticky in space. That's interesting. How come?"
I meant meant to say "not always" sticky, and I don't remember why. I'll have to research that.
As for BTILC, I love that movie!

No, some parts are magnetic, including possibly the washer. But you can't count on it, so you do other things. "Other things" that sometimes don't work, either...

Well, it will burn up on re-entry so it won't hit anyone like a bolt out of the blue.
Unless, like most things when dropped, it rolled to the exact middle under the thing being worked on.
Or things dropped in the kitchen that roll under the fridge and/or stove.

Naw...NASA probably went exotic on their tools and made them out of aluminum, titanium or some other material that didn't make as much sense as something like steel.....

The should have put the bolts in the hubcap.
Unless Ralphie was holding the hubcap, of course.

Just assembled a roll around base for a two draw filing cabinet for my daughter's dorm room! Of course, I was sitting on the couch and dropped one of the pins which the casters attach to. It rolled under the darn couch, (a hideaway bed!)
and ...well my epithets were what my Gramma used to call "reciting the Rosary backward!"
Wonder if NASA had the mute button guarded!

Lost a bolt?
When I'm fixin' something I always end up with several extra ones.
They must not be good mechanics....;-)

Here's a thought: Where does a bolt go when you drop it in outer space?
