Usually “tool-watching parties” are for observing more earthy behavior

About ten years ago I watched what was quite apparently a glove from a spacesuit's flaming re-entry into our atmosphere landing near my location somewhere in the woods, so I have my doubts as to how the toolbox's demise will go.

If with binoculars we can spot a toolbox orbiting earth, maybe we can get a good photo of Bigfoot carrying it.

This is gonna end up causing some kind of Prime Directive violation.

$150,000 to replace it is still a bargain compared to buying a new Prada handbag.

[Steverino]

"If it is similar to a bag lost in 2008 by astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, the cost of replacing it could top $150,000."

They should have gotten it at Harbor Freight.

Look up in the sky, faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, slower than a toolbox traveling 17,000mph it's, it's Superman's man purse?

People of Earth. You're in a construction zone; wear a hard hat.

Like most missing professional tools, the toolbox will likely show up for sale on Craigslist in a day or two.

Now I don't feel so bad about all the tools I've dropped in the lake over the years while working on the dock.

Um, oops?

Talk about a buried lede, two chicks tried to fix a spacecraft and lost the tools. So, typical. Next time, send a man for a man's job.

SMACKS Mayle!
