Astronauts endangered?

Yahoo!News has an article online indicating Hacker Endangered Astronauts' Lives in '97. Now, if this is the case, I really wish that person had been hunted down, tried for treason, and tossed into Leavenworth for a few lifetimes.

Now, I understand the hacker mentality-I agreed with them a long time ago. But nowadays, I've grown up enough to see both sides of this issue. Hey kids, if you wanna play, please do it someplace where people won't be killed, okay?

A.T. Hun comments: What, did somebody DDOS NASA? Perhaps the bigger question is why those vital systems were vulnerable in the first place. They'd better get things straightened around before we go sending astronauts to Mars where we will need to keep track of them for years.

But I agree that if it is true, the hacker should be drawn and quartered. Or better yet, just have him become the new girlfriend in cell block C.
