NASA, a powerful, multi-billion dollar agency owning highly advanced tracking and radio equipment of all kinds has lost a satellite. One month after it was supposed to deploy from a larger satellite it spontaneously ejected and decided to not broadcast in the frequency it was supposed to. Now NASA is asking anybody with the inclination and equipment to look for its satellite. This has a life lesson somewhere in it but I'm not sure what it is.
