Orbiting tool bag

Follow the bouncing, err, orbiting Tool bag.

Simple Satellite Tracking from Spaceweather.com

Supposedly can be seen with good binoculars.

LOL.....we just have to strew garbage wherever we go, don't we? Let's hope that doesn't collide with something, it could do extensive damage I'm sure.

They should invent a giant space Roomba vacuum cleaner to zip around slurping all the debris, which by now numbers in the thousands.

LOL. With all the *stuff* floating around up there it is amazing that the ISS hasn't been ground up into dust. Some day when space flight is an everyday thing it will give someone a good job in salvage. It will become a paradise for antique hunters.

NASA claims that the location of every single last spanner, nut and bolt, and now tool bag, is tracked...I hope for their sake that's true.

Hey Peter,

Even if NASA knows where all it's bits are, they're not the only ones who have left stuff up there.

Are you sure? Think about it.

Hey Peter,

Even if NASA knows where all it's bits are, they're not the only ones who have left stuff up there.

I think all of it's tracked...at least I hope so. They have some kind of central garbage control there...LOL

What about the little folks who look like brink's avatar? or do they recycle?

 

[Ex_Brit]

LOL....!

 

[garysgold]

ROFL. If so they must be slacking off. Or could be we're puttin' it up there faster than they can haul it off. Sad part is, when you see a shooting star the odds are it's just some junk.
