What would be the … What would be the dangers of going after the bag? Say she gets enough slack on the cable holding her and then get’s trailed back. Is that possible?
@intrepidrock123 … @intrepidrock123 Yeah, and now those tools could hit something inportaint like a satilite, so now it’s really a problem for anything up there.
it doesnt matter if … it doesnt matter if theres 88% or 60% gravity where they are. their still in freefall. if she pushes the bag away, its gonna keep moving away just as fast as she originally pushed it.
For you morons … For you morons making asinine comments about a female losing the toolbag, perhaps you’ve forgotten about Grunsfeld accidentally kicking/breaking the low-gain antenna at the end of the last Hubble mission?
Hah of course a … Hah of course a woman would lose an expensive set of tools in space. This what happens when you give certain people rights. Taxpayers must be loving this incident which she described casually as “a little hiccup”.
please google ” … please google “spacevidcast orbital physics” and see the first link. Even astrophysicists agree with what I’ve already said. Now please stop making yourself look foolish and trust me. Read for yourself.
No, the bag … No, the bag wouldn’t have fallen a lot faster. The only way for it to go faster than it does in the video is if it had a higher deltaV. It only *appears* falling in the video. Its momentum towards earth is *temporary*. 45 minutes after the bag floated away, it would’ve & did come relatively close to ISS. It didn’t return to the point of loss because it has different drag amounts compared to ISS.
Yes, I know what … Yes, I know what velocity and freefall is. I’m saying that if gravity was 88% where they were at the time, the bag would have fallen a lot faster than it did. think 88% of a minute and how fast a toolbag would fall in a minute on earth. you are the idiot who needs to get his info straight
Clearly you don’t … Clearly you don’t understand what orbital velocity or freefall is. Maybe you should check your facts before making a fool of yourself. You think gravity doesn’t exist in space? explain the tides. Moron.
I guess since the … I guess since the gravity is at 88%, that’s exactly why the toolbag just floated right off. You’re a pretty bright guy, ya know that? Just keep your stupid mouth shut next time
space walking astronauts lost a tool bag while preparing to do work outside the International Space Station. (Nov. 18)

“Houston we have a problem, that woman you let on board got out the kitchen and lost our only bag of tools”
Houston: “Okay Steve, why was she out of the kitchen?”
“she said we were paying more attention to the tools than how she looked in her space suit, so she threw them away…..bitch”
Houston: Okay Steve, well you know the drill, take her space helmet off”

There is grafity in space. But she’s in freefall. (gravity is 88% at the ISS altitude)
