The $2700 spatula drifted out of Sellers's tool kit while he was conducting repair tests outside the shuttle Discovery on Wednesday.First of all, a $2700 spatch? Where's NASA shopping at these days? They can save a lot of money just by going to the dollar discount store (how much do things cost there anyway?).
"My spatch has escaped ... it was tethered to me," he reported to ground controllers during his 7hr 11min spacewalk. "It's gone, gone, gone. Nobody's going to find it."
In a related story, after Discovery landed at Kennedy Space Center in Florida this morning, Sellers was overheard saying, "Has anyone seen my car keys?"

This guy sounds like he needs to shop at the discount store ... either that or he needs to tape things to himself.
About the spatch ... did you ever see Independence Day?
President Whitmore: "I don't understand, where does all this come from? How do you get funding for something like this?"
Julius Levinson: "You don't actually think they spend $20,000.00 on a hammer, $30,000.00 on a toilet seat do you?"
No, I don't think they're hiding little green (or gray) men, but they're hiding something ... like where all the money really is going ... 0.o
:-/
Maybe he should have put the spatch in his apron where it belongs. Now there is a little green man making little green cookies with the US tax payer's spatula!
don't they have a bed,bath and beyond for space?
Yes, but maybe it was a designer spatula. No self-respecting astronaut expects anything less than Versace or Dolce & Gabana these days.
HA! You know how the smartest people (ie. possible rocket scientists) are always the ones with no common sense? Must be this guy... Oh yes they throw billions of dollars away at NASA, but they do oh-so-cool things! I want to fly to the moon...apparently GWB said we're going back...and that's the only thing he's ever said that I agree with! (well, maybe...)
"Fly me to the moon...." Carrie :)
Gee, I hope his keys aren't out there in space with that gold and diamond studded spatula *Haha*
