You can't ring her phone to find her lost purse in space where there's no sound....

Should have printed Gucci or Dior on it. No way it would have been lost.

If only they made those with tethers or straps so they wouldn’t float away.

Oh wait. Looking at the bag as it floats away, it appears to have two tethers so that one tether can always be attached to something and the bag doesn’t float away.

NASA appears to have something in common with the FBI:

Do they have the orbital elements for this yet so it can be tracked or will it make a quick re-entry and burn up before it can lose too much if a problem.

Biggest hassle is going to Ace and buying some replacement tools.

One article I read said you can see the tool-bag from the ground on Earth with a pair of binoculars.
