NASA Laptop Stolen With Command Codes That Control Space Station |
2012-03-02 |
NASA’s inspector general revealed in congressional testimony that a space agency computer was stolen last year with the command codes to control the International Space Station. In a statement given to a House committee on the security challenges facing NASA, Paul K. Martin said that an unencrypted NASA computer stolen last year was one of 48 taken between April 2009 and April 2011. “The March 2011 theft of an unencrypted NASA notebook computer resulted in the loss of algorithms used to command and control the International Space Station,” Martin said in his written testimony. “Other lost or stolen notebooks contained Social Security numbers and sensitive data on NASA’s Constellation and Orion programs.” |

#4 Aw, come on. It's not like the ISS is a fully armed and operational battle station. In the latest trials, the lasers had only been charged to 25%. |
