NASA's Pesky Floating Bolts

I'm always comforted when NASA's home improvement projects go just like mine. Astronauts working on the space station early today lost a bolt in space, AP reports. That's no big deal, as long as the bolt floated away and didn't puncture the walls of the station or a space suit. The astronauts simply used three bolts, rather than the planned four, to secure the piece of equipment they were working on. Of course, it's not the first time astronauts have lost equipment on spacewalks. Another bolt went missing Tuesday, and in July a 14-inch spatula disappeared.
