Відповідь до p. 124 ex. 3:

Drop a piece of equipment at work and you might feel some embarrassment, but it's rarely a major problem. If you work in space, things are more complicated. When a US astronaut lost control of a bag of tools while carrying out repairs on the International Space Station in 2008, US space agency NASA had more than the cost of 100, 000 dollars to replace it to deal with. The back-pack-sized bag was one of the largest objects ever to be lost by an astronaut and had the potential to do huge amounts of damage to the space station and satellites but even much smaller objects can become hazards too. In 1965, an astronaut's glove orbited earth at 28, 000 km per hour for a whole month. The tool bag stayed in orbit even longer. It was even filmed by an amateur astronomer in Canada. The footage of the tool bag shooting across the night sky spectacularly fast can be seen online, as well as the other thousands of lost objects in space. After returning to earth, she revealed she had been tempted to try to retrieve the bag but didn't want to risk giving NASA the added problem of an out-of-control human body in space.
Fortunately, the bag did no harm to any communications or other technology in the eight months it was in orbit before entering the Earth's atmosphere and burning up. In fact, it began moving out of the orbit of the space station and towards Earth immediately. The repair work on the Space station wasn't delayed because Stephanyshyn-Piper completed her task of mending a solar panel on the Space Station and so can the moment it slipped away from space walker Heidemarie Stephanyshyn-Piper. It's certainly not the first time a rogue object in space has caused concerns if commanders are given fair warning. Space craft and satellites can be moved out of the path of any object that poses a risk as there are more than 19 000 pieces of space debris being monitored. So far this policy has been very successful.
