An astronaut is doing an EVA at the ISS. He is trying to screw in a bolt with a special

zero-gravity wrench. After an hour of unsuccessfully using it, it breaks. The astronaut

gets so mad he winds up and throws the wrench as hard as he can toward the earth.

What will happen to the wrench after that?
