Space Junk

Seems that the astronauts outside the Space Station had a little trouble with their tools.

Grease leakage, and then floating tool bags.

Good to know that the tool bag shouldn't cause any issues... until its orbit degrades...

Could the tools survive the burn on re-entry?

Artificial turf made from tires is safe

I believe that this study and commentary validates my opinion of the parents that originally complained about the turf:

It bothers me that it seems these might be the same parents who would complain if the fields were made of grass and the kids couldn't play after the rain.

Yes, it seems these parents over-reacted just a tad bit.
