NASA issues statement after US VP ignores 'Do Not Touch'
After US Vice President Mike Pence's picture ignoring 'DO NOT TOUCH' sign went viral, NASA released a statement saying, "The signs are there as a day-to-day reminder". "Procedures require the hardware to be cleaned before tiles are bonded to the spacecraft, so touching the surface is absolutely okay. Otherwise, the hardware would've had a protective cover over it," NASA added.
