Lost tool bag found

[Bj]

The tool bag lost by NASA astronaut Heide Stefanyshyn-Piper during an ISS space walk has been filmed sailing over Earth by a veteran satellite observer over the weekend.
SpaceWeather.com has a video recording of the backpack-sized bag's extended lesson in basic Newtonian physics made by Kevin Fetter from his backyard observatory in Brockville, Ontario.

The flotsam is one of the largest items ever lost by a spacewalking astronaut. NASA estimates the missing bag and contents cost about $100,000 (apparently Louis Vuitton was having a sale).

Ouch :fool:

Haha I don't know why, but that vid makes me laugh. Just the fact that the bag is visible and its speed. I feel sorry for Piper though, it was a mistake that will make her the butt of many-a joke...

Ahh, pity I missed it...is now "invalid item."

Up above the world so high, now I realise where I left my pie...

Pie metaphorically standing in for a $100,000 grease-gun, of course.
