Apparenty the Space Shuttles, which were first launched in 1981, need parts -- and a lot of these parts are so outdated, they aren't made anymore. Take for example the Orbiters. They use a type of disk drive that was outdated by the 70's. THE SEVENTIES. (8"?)

Is it just me, or is this just a teeny bit scary? Wait. It gets better.

NASA is scouring places like E-Bay to find these much needed parts.

Makes me want to get a list and start collecting.
