WASHINGTON -- More than $35 million worth of equipment is missing from
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, WTOP-AM in
Washington, D.C.reported Thursday.

The report said documents obtained through the Freedom of Information
Act showed NASA cannot account for thousands of items in its
inventory.The items are missing from NASA's 10 space centers across
the country as well as the headquarters in Washington, the report
said.

Those items include everything from lawn mowers to rocket
launchers."We don't consider anything an acceptable loss," NASA
spokesperson Robert Mirelson told WTOP.The missing items also include
laptops, micro computers and hard drives, which some fear may contain
sensitive information.But Mirelson said since NASA doesn't deal in
large quantities of proprietary information, it is unlikely that any
classified information has been lost or has fallen into wrong hands.
