NASA Employees Abusing Government Credit Cards

May 5, 2008

Video games and iPods, among other things, have been purchased by NASA employees abusing their government-issued credit cards, reports the Houston Chronicle.

Internal investigations have for years uncovered similar problems within NASA, which has long been criticized for poor financial management, even as the agency has pleaded with Congress for billions of dollars to fuel new manned missions into space.
