$100,000.00 tool bag


I was looking at the heavens-above site and they have a track for the tool bag that was lost on the last shuttle flight. You will need binoculars to see it. It will look like a satellite. I wonder if the astronaut who dropped it takes here kids out at night and points up and says "that is why mommy now flies a desk''. All kidding aside all the folks who go up in these vehicles are brave to risk their lives for the advancement of science. Lots of things have been 'discovered' due to the space program. Who can ever forget TANG! When I was a kid growing up we had orange trees on our property and fresh squeezed OJ practically every day. The first time I ever had TANG, the drink, was when I ordered orange juice with my breakfast at Medio Camino in Baja at the age of 5 or 6. My mom told me if it was good enough for astronauts it was good enough for me! After that I only wanted TANG, not that other stuff with the pulp and occasional seed that came from the trees out back.

Tang was not actually invented by NASA but was made popular after it was found out that the astronauts added it to the water that was produced on the spaceships to make it taste 'better'.

Thanks EGL. I also remember "Space Food Sticks". The peanut butter flavor was my fav.

Freeze-dried ice cream - definitely my favorite space food treat.
