NASA Missing Several Samples

It's a little funny that when NASA finds out they are missing hundreds, if not thousands of samples and materials from space, they don't take the report seriously, including recommendations for better tracking and organization.

NASA spokesman Michael Cabbage said the agency will continue to lend out material to scientists and for educational display but will adopt the specific recommendations the inspector general made to improve its tracking.

"NASA does not consider these national treasure assets to be at high risk," he said.

Yet it was enough of a risk that a sting went down at a Denny's, where NASA shook up a 74-year-old woman so badly she was traumatized.  She was trying to sell a tiny bit of moon rock and heat shield that had been given to her late husband by Neil Armstrong.  NASA's inspector general was all over that one, yet we find out now untold treasures have walked out the door never to be seen again.

Maybe, just maybe, they should listen to those tips on tracking.
