Floating Space Junk?

Recently on the news I saw the story of a bag of tools floating in the Earths orbit. I thought it was just so insanely funny that I couldn’t help but laugh. Why would astronauts be so incompetent as to forget to tie on about two million dollars worth of space tools while hopping around on the moon! 

I couldn’t help but wonder, what were they trying to fix? I realized it was important becuase it was two million dollars of tools, but I recently looked it up and they were only trying to secure a loose bolt on the wheel of a rover. An unimportant bolt to keep on the hubcap of the front-right wheel! I have no idea why it would be two million dollars and I would hate to see what happens to the astronauts when they get back to earth.

A funny fact is that people are making websites to trade the tools and are making huge profits from advertisers – about 2.4 million oer hour! This bag of tools is now floating around in Earths orbit while astronauts have launched a search mission for it as it is potentially dangerous if it may come into contact with an asteroid.
