Or maybe this is like a Dentist who says OOPS!
I am glad I do not work for NASA. If every time I lost a screw or bolt it ended up in the New York Times I couldn't bear the publicity!
Back In collage I was at the dental school getting some (cheep work done. The dentist dropped a gold crown down my throat. I was able to hack it up but he said "well it is gold and we would have had to recover it at the other end".
he would have had to remelt it before it went into my mouth
