This Etsy ad popped up in my Facebook feed. Can you believe it? "Computer Chips From NASA Mission Control"! For a mere $28. Each.
"The pictures shown may not be the exact chip you'll receive, but it will be very similar." The first "computer chip" they show is a resistor network. The second is a dynamic memory chip with a 1980 data code. It may have come from some piece of gear used near Mission Control... or from a dusty package hanging on the pegboard at Radio Shack. The real value is the buck and a half plastic box it comes in!
