NASA shops on Ebay for obsolete parts!

Time to inventory your old computers!

Did you not hear in the news a couple of days ago that NASA had to buy spare parts from ebay for the latest mission because they had none in stock, and were out of production?

This is a genuine post and not a joke.

I bet they have not told the Commander of the present mission and the crew that there lives were depending on something bought through an ebay auction.

I believe Bill Gates is in discussion with NASA for them to beta test his new operating system to control the guidance system for the next launch.
