Default NASA lost tool kit.

I am sure you have all heard the story...

Astronaut who lost tool kit prepares for new space walk - WalesOnline

....but "Nasa put the price tag of the tool bag at 100,000 US dollars."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What I could do with a tool bag and $100,000 at a Sears store.

Default Re: NASA lost tool kit.

I'm sure the weight of the tools is factored in. I know it's a HUGE figure for every pound that is toted up into space.

Call it the delivery fee - I'm sure it's factored in.

[edit: you gotta wonder if homeowners insurance covers this one. ]
