The satchel-sized tool bag floated away and is now orbiting Earth. The orbital toolbox has now been classified as space junk and photographers on Earth may even be able to capture the errant object on camera. “We were in Node 1, I think, having lunch or dinner, and Satoshi had been out in the Cupola taking pictures,” Mogensen recalls“He comes in and he’s like, ‘Well, you know, I’m very, very, very sorry. But you know, I took this picture.’ And we were all thinking, ‘What’s going on?’“He had been trying to take a picture of Mount Fuji and ended up with a picture of the tool bag.
