"Whoops"..........and I thought I was clumsy.

HOUSTON — A spacewalking astronaut accidentally let go of her tool bag Tuesday after a grease gun inside it exploded, and helplessly watched as the tote and everything inside floated away.

It was one of the largest items ever to be lost by a spacewalker, and occurred during an unprecedented attempt to clean and lube a gummed-up joint on a solar panel.

Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper was just starting to work on the joint when the mishap occurred.

She said her grease gun exploded, getting the dark gray stuff all over a camera and her gloves. While wiping off herself, the white, backpack-size bag slipped out of her grip, and she lost all her other tools.

"Oh, great," she mumbled.

 

live and learn they will now have a tag line on the bag for that

 

If that were her "Coach" or "Louie Vaton" bag, she wouldn't have never lost it.:jester:

 

let me fire up the furnace here, thats why women should stay in the kitchen and bedroom. :jester:

 

You can ask my husband, you wouldn't want me in the kitchen, but I could cook up something mean in the bedroom :jester:

I think they should take this out of her paycheck

 

Bragger. :mrgreen:

 

LOL She will pay it'll be her last time going up.

 

I kind of feel bad because this is so something that would happen to me....

 

In true female fashion, it's said off the record that she blamed one of the male astronauts for not cleaning up after using the tool in the first place. She further stated that if he had cleaned up after himself, she wouldn't have lost the tools. :lol:

 

well you did let the cat out of the bag, if thats the same thing.:jester:

 

Well, he probably left his undies lying around and could not find them to clean the tool. If anything falls down to earth I hope it hits one of the CEOs that has run their company into the ground and now wants a hand out. :lol:

funny I at times thought about offering you 5 grand for a lifetime ban on posting here, and if you broke the ban you would donate 10 grand to local GOP office. But I do enjoy the free comic strip Sherry on here. You offer many people here feeling down in the dumps a little laughter. Keep up the good work. :jester:

 

Thanks. I so value our conversations. A few people just don't know how to laugh. I believe in Freedom of Speech but some do not.

Ok lets not get all sentimental and carried away here. :jester:
