Oh no, she dropped the toolbag

Papad

........... and now it's floating in space.

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. While wiping off herself, the white, backpack-size bag slipped out of her grip, and she lost all her other tools.

It was one of the largest items ever to be lost by a spacewalker (according to the news report)

That's what happens when you let a woman do man's work

drunkymonkey

That's what I thought too. And I have to admit, I like where this thread is going.

Ffs she called her toolbag Tuesday / say no more...

There is a Space Shuttle mission to the moon with two monkeys and a woman on board. The control centre is the US calls:

“Monkey number 1, Monkey number 1 to the television screen.”

He sits down and he is told to release the pressure in compartment 1, increase the temperature in engine 4 and to release oxygen to the reactors. So the monkey does the pressure, temperature, and releases the oxygen.

A few moments later the control centre calls again:

“Monkey number 2, monkey number 2 to the television screen.” He sits down and he is told to add Carbon Dioxide to room 4, to stop the fuel injection to engine 3, to add nitrogen to the fuel compartment and to analyse the solar radiation. So the monkey does the carbon dioxide, the fuel injection, the nitrogen and the analysis of solar radiation.

A little later on, headquarters calls again:

“Woman, please woman approach the screen.”

She sits down and just as she is about to be told what to do she says…

“I know I know!! Feed the monkeys, don’t touch anything.”

Must have been an awful wrench though...

I heard the green party want to put a tax on dumping rubbish in space.

They're screwed now

I bet NASA are going nuts

etc

Papad

ah lads, this thread is going better than expected.

At least the toolbag will be easy to find. I believe it is pink in colour with a big "Gucci" label on it.

She can lose what she likes, she's still a f**king astronaut.

lostexpectation

she lost a one armed southern pervert in space?

Kazuma

Ah, the star mangled spanner came about sooner than expected

lostexpectation

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.


they said lube lol

Tar.Aldarion

I'd nail her.

What the hell is gonna happen when she gets access to the kitchen :eek:

davyjose

It gets worse. Apparently she locked the keys in the shuttle and filled it with Diesel too...

Fyp.

Lets hope she didn't leave her tampons in that bag or there'll be more red faces on board the shuttle.

Just saying. I mean, I'm sure After Hours non-bag-losing skills are world class. It's just the pesky old Not Being An Astronaut thing that trips us up.

Luckily for all of us, there's no parallel parking in space.

Clearly, the Fantastic Four have taught you nothing; she retains her astronaut powers even when she gets home.

god could you imagine how long that would take, her trying to reverse the space shuttle into a spot...... the freaking thing would run out of juice before she has it parked..:D

She's less likely than her male counterparts to leave her space shuttle wrapped around a tree on a secondary road in the midlands though. And she wouldn't have installed a f**king spoiler kit and underlights.

True, but Im sure she needed the rear view mirror to be twisted at a bizarre angle, whos use is only known to her!

Imagine some alien race finding the bag. They would think we travel around in bags and our bones are made of metal.

jill_valentine

Yeah, around here they just park in front of the bank and rev. Never seen them lose toolbags though, to be entirely fair.

Biggins

I hope that tool bag doesn't land on some aliens foot some day!
(if they have a foot! If they even have a day!)

Yeah if there's one thing a man wouldn't do in that situation, it would be to forget to protect his tool

she actually pushed the bag away when the gun burst as someone siad it you can't drop it.

"A crack team of astronaut plumbers got down to business aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday to hook up a new system that recycles urine into drinking water." according to the news today.

Hopefully, Mizz Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper read the instructions and not cross the pipes, changing water into urine but we'll see.

She'd be the worst Jesus ever. Wine, woman, WINE!
