HOUSTON (AP) - Shuttle astronauts spotted three pieces of debris floating in space outside Atlantis early Wednesday, a day after the discovery of two other mysterious objects forced a postponement of the landing.
Atlantis commander Brent Jett described the objects as two rings and a piece of foil. He told Mission Control the first object, about 100 feet from the shuttle, was "a reflective cloth or a mechanic looking-cloth. ... It's not a solid metal structure."
"It doesn't look like anything I've seen outside the shuttle," Jett said.
The astronauts noticed the objects during an extensive inspection of the space shuttle using a 50-foot-boom early Wednesday to see if its heat shield was damaged by a mysterious object that apparently floated off the spacecraft.
Jett suggested the three objects might have come from the Russian Soyuz vehicle, which docked with the international space station early Wednesday. But Mission Control told him the Soyuz likely was too far below the shuttle, and that the closest the two space vehicles came to each other was 20 miles.

They found some rings up there? Anyone getting married? Is it possible to shtel a chupah without it floating away? Can you put ashes on the chossen's head & make it stay there? What happens when the chossen breaks the glass???

Re: Badchen:
Your jokes are a little sour. No laugh here. Why don't you get some good fresh ones, not like the corny ones you just posted and then maybe MAYBE you will be qualified to be a real "Badchen"

So if it did not come from the Russian shuttle, how exactly does debris end up in space? Hmmm,,,Perhaps we have another society in space? Wonder if they have strict zoning laws like we have on earth. Can we get herring and shnapz if we move out there?

Unidentified garbage. Lost in space. For a second I thought this post might have some connection to the one about Naturai Karta.

Sure looks like a piece of packaging. Bet someone left the wrapper on one of those roll-up solar panels and it came out when unfurled. Doooh!

it's not enough that humans have polluted this planet. Now they're littering in outer space.
