For sale for 25 BTC. That's £24,000 ($30,000). That seems... Steep. What are the odds this is someone who has seen this and just wants to have a laugh?

[–]Stalkercoffee [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Seems more likely to me. Someone looking to scam someone out of bitcoins.

    Ironically enough for that much money one could reproduce this part including the equipment, assuming they were stateside and had access to right materials(reads ITAR approved vendor, or sign a waiver saying you won't sell the finished goods outside the USA. That being said, it is likely about $500-1000 in raw materials and 2-4 weeks of processing, so finished goods could be 10k. Finally a technical question nobody asked to be answerd...

      No genuine telling of the Robin Hood story includes him robbing the rich, generally, to give to the poor. He reclaimed stolen property from the taxing authority and returned it to the tax-victims. Robin Hood had nothing against the "rich" generally.

        [–]StandardBoilerplate [スコア非表示]  (21子コメント)

        That's quite the bargain considering that NASA estimates its original acquisition cost was $1,000 per tile.

        According to the tiles' manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, the baked silica squares originally cost NASA about $10,000 per square foot installed. Typically, tiles measure about a quarter of that, or 6 by 6 inches

        Sure, that's what they're worth to NASA. I have no intention of plummeting to the ground from outside the atmosphere, so my heat shield budget is a lot smaller. I'll bid $50, tops.

        Not to be pedantic, but I'm pretty sure literally every single person who has plummeted to the ground from outside the atmosphere has planned it in fairly fine detail.

            I'm not familiar with the imperial system, but isn't a quarter of $10,000 $2,500 and not $1,000? Maybe quarter means something else in freedom units, though, I wouldn't be surprised.

            [–]jackkerouac81 [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

            what we do in Merica, when we say quarter, we mean we divide it on each axis into 3.16227766 equal pieces... therefore our quarters become 1/10ths ... which is actually more decimal than the parts of the world that use science numbers where one quarter is 1/4...

              Fractions are fractions regardless of imperial/metric.

              The $10k figure is a square foot installed, that includes preparing the surface, applying the adhesive, testing the work and doing that under the strict QA requirements of NASA.

                  Either they already: 1) had a buyer; 2) wanted it.

                  His comment implied a prior motive of wanting it that wouldn't lend itself to an impulsive decision.

                  But like it matters. I'm just bored at work, splitting hairs.

                  That's not how to parse it, though.

                  Either they: 1) already had a buyer; 2) wanted it.

                  The first possibility implied prior motive, but the second does not imply anything.

                    If we really want to pulverize this dead horse, it's not ambiguous. There's a "they" in both of the clauses (not sure if that's the correct term). And, since the "already" comes after the "they" in the first clause, it doesn't apply to the second clause. Otherwise it would mean something along the lines of "they already they wanted it".

                                          It wasn't taken from a pile. It was apparently taken from a demonstration cart being used by a volunteer docent inside the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. It wasn't a flown tile, but did originate from the space shuttle program as a training example.

                                          You're thinking of this pile as if it were a heap. Not necessarily so. In any case, it was probably a fairly well arranged pile.

                                              No, NASA property such as this cannot be sold because it belongs to the American people. Even intellectual property and any astronaut photo or Hubble photo is always free of copyright. Edited for clarity: intellectual property like results of scientific experiments and the like. Not like, rocket blueprints.

                                              Edit to add. Looks like they give the tiles out to schools and such but you aren't allowed to own them.

                                              • July 28th 1957, two nuclear weapons were jettisoned in the Atlantic Ocean after the C-124 carrying them lost power.

                                              • Feb 5th 1958, a B-47 ejected a nuclear bomb over the Atlantic Ocean near Tybee Island after a mid-air collision with an F-86. Possibly located in 2004 but unconfirmed.

                                              • Sept 25th 1959, a Navy P5M carrying a nuclear bomb crashed into Puget Sound, the bomb was not recovered.

                                              • Jan 21st 1968, Thule AFB in Greenland, a B-52 crashed into sea ice, the resulting fire caused the ice to melt and bombs to fall to the ocean floor, not all components were recovered.

                                              • May 22nd 1968, Submarine SSN Scorpion sinks while en-route to Norfolk, VA from Rota, ESP, two nuclear warheads are located approximately 3km deep.

                                                Yes, NASA property (like space shuttle tiles) can be and has been legally sold, if properly released into public hands. During the 30-year program, NASA presented tiles as awards and VIP gifts, and for some years, released them through government surplus sales. So long as the provenance supports that the tiles were properly released from NASA's inventory they can be legally owned (as is the case with any NASA property, whether it is a desk chair or a flown-in-space piece of hardware).

                                                That said, toward the end of the program, beginning in the early- to mid-1990s, NASA ceased releasing tiles because of health and export concerns (space shuttle tiles are primarily silica and can easily powder, causing an inhalation risk similar to asbestos; tiles are also are export controlled under the International Trade in Arms Regulations [ITAR]).

                                                NASA continues to offer tiles to teachers and educational institutions, though these have restrictions as to being further transferred to individuals.

I don't know how the thermal isolation scales with the size of the tiles but maybe they could be ground up into some kind of dust/gravel and then packed and cast in a very fine resin.

                                                    (also, I have a double walled mug they are amazing, highly recommended)

                                                          At the high risk of minimizing this theft: each of the 4 remaining space shuttles is covered with about 24,000 of these tiles. They're one-of-a-kind, certainly - but maybe not worth an all points bulletin.

                                                          Before you flame me: I'm a huge space enthusiast, and I truly believe things like this belong in museums and schools for everyone to see and learn about. But I feel there's a danger in fetishising artifacts like this past the point of common sense - I'd prefer NASA and the feds direct most of their time and our money on the current space programs, rather than obsessing about where their discarded equipment has gotten to.

                                                          Found a shuttle tile in my backyard January 29th, 1986.

                                                          I'll check my local pawn shop and let you know if I find it.

                                                          When I was a teenager, i found a black tile of some kind on St.Augustine Beach. Kept it for a year, thinking it was a shuttle tile. When I showed somebody, we decided we should hit it with a cigarette lighter. It burned up like crazy. So that sucked.

                                                          The good news is we could locate it by burning the suspect's house to the ground and picking through what's left

                                                          If the last three digits of the serial number are missing, how can you prove it was the one that was stolen? It might be the one stolen, it might not be. Plus, what's to stop someone from removing the serial number all together?

                                                          Does it look kind of like this?

                                                          Out of curiosity, what is KSC? Kennedy space center?

                                                          Is this guy back on the loose?

                                                          Why is it important that we find it?

                                                          Would it be ok if it just disappeared?

                                                          Isn't this an overreaction? Are they forged from the heart of a dying star? Or able to poison the whole planet? Just get another one.
