On the other hand, since Henry is MIA somewhere, he would jump in and point out the story of the wrench left in the orbiter aft compartment, if I remember correctly, despite three signatures stating that it was accounted for. Or something like that. Or tools left in missile tubes, or in ballast tanks, or in a variety of other places where gear shouldn't be adrift. Signatures can guarantee a job is done, but not that it was done *well*.

Or something like that. That was a work platform, IIRC. The wrench left in Atlantis was retrieved by a NASA woman, and after some controversy they let her take it home. She also has in her possesion a flown bag of M&M's. She was offered worn underwear but opted for the candy instead. :-) These days weird stuff like that (astronaut underwear) is easily and quickly transformed into cold hard cash (which, usually, doesn't smell like old underwear) through the magic of eBay. |
