Now it sounds like there is a problem -- but I see at least one explanation of missing equipment that I have a question about.

In one instance documented by the accountability office, an unidentified worker explained the fate of a missing laptop, worth $4,265:

“This computer, although assigned to me, was being used on board the International Space Station. I was informed that it was tossed overboard to be burned up in the atmosphere when it failed.”

The employee was not disciplined.

I suppose that there might be an obvious reason for the employee not being disciplined -- perhaps the computer was taken aboard the ISS and jettisoned after it quit working. After all, a service call was probably out of the question.

I wonder if next they will take on the issue of NASA employees managing their blogs from work?
