Government sues Apollo 14 astronaut over lunar camera
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. government has sued a former NASA astronaut to recover a camera used to explore the moon's surface during the 1971 Apollo 14 mission after seeing it slated for sale in a New York auction. The lawsuit, filed in Miami federal court on Wednesday, accuses Edgar Mitchell of illegally possessing the camera and attempting to sell it for profit.

As for me personally I think this law suit was faked.
I'd guess NASA in addition to proving the current leadership fools, are going to spend far more in this suit than the bloody camera is worth. The thing I find laughable is that the originators of the suit probably weren't even born when this man was walking on the surface of the moon!

Guess Mr. Mitchell is hard up for money. Let me get this logic: If you salute the flag, you get to steal (Wow, take about deja vu, feels like I am in the Great Resession again).
Obama probably needs the cash so him and the little woman can take another
trip on us tax payers.
trip on us tax payers.
What has our country come to? Dr. Mitchell is and was a patriot, Makes me upset that I spent four years of my life serving this country so they could go and sue an 80 year old man over a camera! I am positive NASA hasn't been looking for that camera for 40 years
WOW, Ridiculous
I better let my Dad know about this so he won't try to sell his WW2 issued military gear....If the government gets it I wonder where it will end up.
