"... (her) grease gun exploded all over her helmet camera and gloves, and while wiping off the mess, she shifted her attention off the tool bag. She lost her grip and it floated away. "Oh, great," she was reported to mumble."

Are you sure her name isn't Lucille Esmeralda McGillicuddy Ricardo?

Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper's grease gun exploded all over her helmet camera and gloves, and while wiping off the mess, she shifted her attention off the tool bag.

"Grease gun", huh? That's what the kids are calling it these days?

Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper?

Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper???

That name alone can cause a rip in the fabric of space-time.

I don't know if it's indicative of my middle school mental state, but when I read "tools", my brain immediately jumped to "balls".

I was immediately thrown into chaos, and had thoughts of relinquishing my desire to be an astronaut.

EVER.

@tehdahl: No need to give up your dreams. The chances of dying in a fiery explosion during a space flight remains significantly higher than the chances your junk will float away during a space walk.

@phryed: Pluto, in the guise of a toothy little sperm, has apparently vandalized a photo of an astronaut.
