Then the video 8th down on the right hand side.

Beleive me, it is truly worth it, I thought "Noooo!" lol

She had "greasy hands" my ass! That's funny! Looks like a woman looking through her purse in space...

Just heard on the radio that if you get a pair of binoculars you can see the toolbox as a spec in the sky next to the space station.

Surely they could use a big magnet on a bit of string to get it back? lol

I find that difficult to accept; the toolbox was moving relative to the station and in the video it had moved a couple of feet within a second or so. By now ir will be many miles away surely?

Exactly my thoughts Geoff, but that's what they said on the BBC World Service. I'll look in to it.

Heh, too late to see it now, but you could have with a good pair of bins
