“it’s floating spaceship aft and starboard..”
Simply stunning footage, from the 10 year-old International Space Station, of a very bad day at the office for STS-126 mission specialist Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper. Luckily they have a spare tool-bag.. Meanwhile NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter finds evidence of massive ice glaciers – “On Earth, such buried glacial ice in Antarctica preserves the record of traces of ancient organisms and past climate history.” Update “Nothing lost in space – this time” – Before going outside, Heidemarie Stefanshyn Piper said “I hope I don’t lose anything today.” – Heh.
Not often there’s much humour up there, but I had a real laugh when I saw that on the Beeb during the week.
Stunning background though…
Conclusive proof that women should be kept away from the tool box. I’m guessing she is frantically trying to find a way to blame her husband.
I’m wondering how much the tools cost?
So Heidi and me had another cup of tea and then we went home.
Poor Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper! That’s some CV she’s got there, though. And I never saw a planet as beautiful as ours.

$100,000 apparently.
“Nothing lost in space – this time”
Heh.
Isn’t that tool bag now a 100,000 MPH projectile? I think it must have plowed into the AT&T;communication satellite because the service has been crap over here today.
Just think about the cost of NASA “proving” that that tool bag doesnt pose a threat to other assets in space.
