Default Have you seen the photo of the $240 million satellite that fell over? LOL

http://www.msnbc.com/news/964067.asp

"A nearly completed, $239 million weather satellite toppled to the
floor as it was being moved at a Lockheed Martin plant and was
seriously damaged, officials said Tuesday." *

"According to a source close to the program, bolts that were supposed
to secure the satellite to the "turn over cart" had been removed a day
earlier by a crew working on another satellite project. The crew
working on NOAA-N Prime did not notice the bolts were missing when
they tried to flip the satellite, the source said, speaking on
condition of anonymity."
