A Sea Of Red

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.

HAHA. we do make significantly less mistakes in the kitchen then elsewhere, now don't we?

Amen?

When I first saw this, I said, 'Holy cow! We have female astronauts?'

this was a fluke. she was supposed to be there solely to prepare their food. she snuck out trying to do a man's job, and failed miserably. she clearly should have stayed in the kitchen!

What the article does NOT say...is that she passed one of the external mirrors on the station and stopped to put on make-up...and dropped the tools as a result.

You're all just sexist pigs
