lack of dedicatoin she should have gone after it

Love the frantic arm-flapping! 'Oh man oh man!'

Ha ha ha ha ha! That's gonna come out of her paycheck. Working in space has got to be the most amazing experience ever. They say the weightlessness diving provides is close to how zero G feels, but nowhere in the ocean can you find truly unlimited visibility!

D'OH!

interview:

That's what happens when you let women out of the kitchen and play with your tools.

some day I'd like to be hurtling through the vacuum of space and just full-on chuck something down at Earth.

They need to find a way to retrieve things in space, couldve been worse.

If it were something super important they would have managed to retrieve it. They can try to reach it with the robotic arm. I don't know if they have the equipment for untethered space walks. But what they did have, if it were a matter of life or death, was a space shuttle to go fetch it. Or maybe they could just change the station velocity by .2 m/s towards the bag until the robotic arm can grab it.

I have a question for the physicists - what would happen to an object thrown perpendicular to your orbit down toward earth? Disregard atmospheric drag. After one orbit, would that object come back up towards you as fast as you chucked it?

Good question.

Assumption: you don't throw it far enough towards Earth for atmospheric drag to matter, and you are more massive than the object.

my answer: I don't think so, and it's not a simple matter. Lets say you were in a perfectly circular orbit. You throw the object down and now it's in an eccentric orbit (and so are you, for that matter). It no longer has the same orbital period as you, because it has a longer semi-major axis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-major_axis) which means it has a slower orbit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_period)

I could be wrong, though.

just use one of those pool nets
that's what i would've done

Yes, they have the equipment for untethered EVAs. This (Astronaut Bruce McCandless) is probably the most famous images of someone doing an ExtraVehicular Activity.

^ Yeah, but to get back into the spacestation, suit-up with the EVA, and then deploy, would take far too long.

Also, the robotic arm takes far too long to deploy as well, so in either case the bag was just too far away too soon.

I wonder who it will hit on re-entry...?

Job opening!

I bet she was saying something worse than that.

Apparantly it would have been a super big deal to go after that toolkit.

Mankind is still a child in space.

robotic armCanadarm thank you very much!

I'm fucken doing it: *CANADA! IN MOTHERFUCKEN SPACE! WOO!

Adding video to channels (Canada) - requested by calvados.

And I betcha, the way NASA spends money, that those tools cost around a million bucks!

all these comments, and not one person mentioned the fact that GIRLS KEEP TOO MUCH SHIT IN THEIR BAGS.

I'm personally wondering what retard engineer didn't tether the tool pouch to the bag, which itself was tethered. It's SPACE people.. things float away from you constantly. If the tools aren't attached to something, they float away at a moments notice.

It was her fault for not realizing it wasn't tethered. It was the engineers on the grounds fault that it wasn't tethered in the first place.

This post has been removed from the Canada channel by channel owner calvados. Please review the FAQ to learn about appropriate channel assignments.

The reason that the tools in that bag are worth so much is the fact that they are in space.
It currently costs about $10,000 per pound to get any payload into space. If a toolbag weighs 30 pounds, that's $300,000 invested in getting it up there.
We need a space elevator!!!
