    OT. Ever dropped a spanner and thought "dang, how the hell am I gonna reach that"?

    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?
    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.

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