Though I appreciate the news and enjoyed being informed on this topic, this article is saturated with writer opinion. If this were a blog article, or if it were labeled as an opinion piece, it would be no big deal, but I thought this was supposed to be a news article. The writer didn't even have the decency to at least be subtle about his opinion.
As for the camera, if Edgar Mitchell can provide evidence and/or witnesses that NASA gifted that camera to him, then I hope that everyone involved has the decency to drop the issue at that point. But if no such evidence exists, then I don't blame NASA for pursuing this. While this may be one little camera, it is still a case of property theft (however innocent) and resale, and they don't want to encourage future employees to do the same.
