y friend and long-time client Don is a woodworker who makes beautiful furniture, so he has an abiding fondness for tools. That’s why he’s so excited about that $100,000 bag of tools left drifting in space by NASA astronaut Heide Stefanyshyn-Piper. If he can just get his hands on it … but how to track it?

Welcome to Live Real Time Satellite Tracking, which has conveniently added the tool bag to the satellites it’s tracking:

Fire up the interceptors! And while you’re tracking the toolbox, you can supplement your data inputs with guidance from friendly terrestrial aides, like this clip of the toolbox drifting by, captured by amateur telescope junky, Kevin Fetter of Ontario.

Did I say “drifting?” “Ripping” is more like it. This baby’s going to be hard to catch!

    Greetings:Actually, you misidentified NASA astronaut Heide Stefanyshyn-Piper.  She’s more correctly identified and the First Woman Astronaut to put her tool bag into orbit.  I am told that it clashed with her outfit.

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
