A spacewalking astronaut accidentally let go of her tool bag Tuesday after a grease gun inside it exploded, and helplessly watched as the tote and everything inside floated away. It was one of the largest items ever to be lost by a spacewalker, and occurred during an unprecedented attempt to clean and lube a joint on a solar panel. She said her grease gun exploded, getting the dark gray stuff all over a camera and her gloves. While wiping off herself, the white, backpack-size bag slipped out of her grip, and she lost all her other tools, luckily her associate shared his tools with her and the mission went through.

The toolbox was contained approximately $100,000 worth of tools. Anyone capable of finding this will surely make a fortune if it ever makes it back to earth.
