You may have heard about the Interplanetary Wasabi Attack on the International Space Station (some condiment sauce got loose, invoking a small but humorous panic onboard the ISS). What no news service I have seen has mentioned is that this isn't the first time Sunita Williams lost something in space-- in December 2006 she dropped a camera while on a spacewalk, too. I'm not accusing her of being a butterfingers-- if I were out in space I have no doubt I'd lose my helmet, or probably even the whole space station. I just hope the other astronauts don't rib her too much -- but if they do, they'll use barbecue sauce this time. HAHAHAHA! I kill me.
