I agree----why does NASA now have to recover this camera after 30 years?
There should be a "statute of limitations" or something against this action
by NASA.
Just can't see how "NASA is probably determined by law to sue to retrieve
the objects."
That is just bull****!!

Yes but why is it 'a legal one' now as opposed to 30 years ago?

I think the problem is a simple legal one. It is probably like the owner
of
a business using business stuff for personal use. It is illegal. It was
probably illegal to give away the camera, and other stuff, because it is
material that belongs to the business-NASA. NASA is probably determined by
law to sue to retrieve the objects or value of the objects. Just like the
owner of a trademark is legally obliged to sue someone who uses that
trademark illegally or risk losing the trademark. Sometimes it is the law
that requires you to sue....................

Well spotted Hehe, (now who's rewriting history ;) lol.
Seriously though I think the Astronauts should refuse to do any more PR
work
for Nasa over this, it's disgraceful. (Assuming the press reports are true
of course).
These Guys and girls put their lives on the line - Granted there's a
potentially difference from cadging some scrap stuff from work and being
officially awarded/given it in writing, but I can't help thinking this is
more about 'recovering valuable items', rather than anything else....

They're at it again ... rewriting history and after 40 years of NASA's
permission to take mementos from the Apollo era - now suing the sixth
man to walk on the moon, Edgar Mitchell of Apollo 11, for trying to
sell the camera they allowed him to have ... <<
Edgar Mitchell wasn't on Apollo 11....Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin and
Neil Armstrong were.
