Wow! A spacewalking astronaut was working on the International Space Station when she lost her grip on a big tool box and it floated away into orbit around the Earth! You can actually see this with an average telescope if you know where to look.

Better yet, track the toolbox live as it orbits our planet!

Or, watch a news video of this exciting space moment!

If you are thinking of searching the skies for the toolbox, be warned: "Finding the item by telescope is like looking for a toolbox in space!" says Sky.com. Very funny Sky.com, you crazy jokers!!

This toolbox is rumored to be approximately the size and shape of an unrelated toolbox, John Segal. NASA estimates the value of the lost tools at around $100K, which equates to roughly 6700 times the market value of John Segal's soul (which has greatly diminished in value since he entered college in 1999, and is now guessed to be worth just under 15 dollars US).

Lucky for Segal the Dollar has rebounded somewhat since mid-summer, increasing his net worth worldwide. For all you ladies on the other side of the pond you can still get Tahoe's version of 007 for less than 12 Euro's...
