Butters Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Astronaut Drops Tool Bag, Tools While Repairing Solar Panel Joint This is why only men should use tools! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bender Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 "Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper was just starting to work on the joint when the mishap occurred. She said [it] exploded, getting the [stuff] all over a camera.... While wiping off herself, the white, backpack-size bag slipped out of her grip, and she lost all her other tools." No worries, you still have the only tool of any use to you. Normally your purse just falls to the floor next to your knees. No gravity is a bitch, eh?

LockheedFix Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 What... they're letting women be astronauts now? Next thing you know they'll be wearing diapers on cross-country journeys to kidnap romantic rivals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No gravity is a bitch, eh? BENDY ROTFLMFAO Edit: I went back and read the article: "The big-ticket item — and one of the first things to be hooked up — is a recycling system that will convert astronauts' urine and sweat into drinking water." Okay, now I'm pulling my astronaut application. F that. Edited November 19, 2008 by HerkFE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeMeantWell Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Make sure to fill out that "dropped object" form... $100,000 for some grease guns and towels, and we can't buy paper for out printers. I bet the actual cost is 10x that, once you figure the lost job it was too do, the fuel to get it into orbit, and then the cost to do it all again.

FourFans Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Come on people. She goes to do a standard tube job, the gun explodes and she looses her grip while cleaning herself off. It this really a surprising, non-standard occurance? I think not. I'll bet it even happened to Metzger a few times! FF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergman Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Oh, great! So now we have a lost bag of tools, a busted ass space station, AND an empty kitchen? WTF! Will the madness never end?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeloDude Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 This is why we can't have nice things... I'm still going to blame the FE's, Gunners, and co-pilots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prozac Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 This is why we can't have nice things... I'm still going to blame the FE's, Gunners, and co-pilots. Blame, BLAME FEs? Seriously? I think it's obvious had an FE been onboard, this potentially fatal incident simply would not have been allowed to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky_king Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Metal kneeboard? That's against regulation. I bet he can't even be trusted to wear white socks while taking the PFT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Ha, this reminds me if the time a C-130 LM made a HALO jumper take his bag of shit with him when he jumped. The idiot did it, lost positive control of cargo and it landed on Delta Ramp at TCM right in front of a MX crew towing a C-17. CP almost sent an OPREP to 18 AF before Safety stepped in and said we could probably handle this in house. True story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butters Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Bag of human shit. Not a 130 guy but apparently there is a bucket with a bag in it that you poop in. Protocol dictates you have to carry it off the airplane. Don't know why the FE doesn't do it if they are so fucking important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
