"Houston, We Have Virus Lift-Off ..."

Surprisingly, this apparently isn't the first time this has happened to NASA. They haven't, to this point, been using antivirus software on the laptops astronauts take into space with them.

A lesson for us all? Yep.

I bet they have plenty of bandwidth to download (upload?

) cleaner software or some such...

Practically though, it's probably a nagging time killer for them since the machine (and the offending flash drive...) has to be cleaned, or wiped and reloaded.
