On Nov 1st, astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara were carrying out handy work outside the ISS when they accidentally let a tool bag float away. The bag is now a +6 magnitude satellite, visible ahead of the ISS with the help of binoculars.
Do you think there's friendly heckling on the ISS?
"Hey Loral - hand me a pliers, will ya? Oh, that's right, you left them outside."

To be fair, if I was outside the ISS I'd probably forget to hang on and become a satellite myself.
