![Quintet – boldly fly your starship through the galaxy with your friends [Freeware]](http://www.redferret.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/quintet3-270x190.jpg)
Ever wondered what tool NASA used to wash the astronaut’s undies after a long stretch in space? Well surely it wasn’t this pair of scruffy looking washing machines, or was it? There’s only one way to find out, and that’s to bid on them, because these two magnificent NASA washers are up for auction for the next four days, with a starting bid of $25.00.
Now before you pull out your credit card and rush off to bid, you should know that you can only buy these beauties if you are a US Citizen. Seriously. Apparently these machines are regulated by the Traffic in Arms Regulations (Parts 120 through 130), so Mr Washing Undies Terrorist your luck is out.
Just to make this absolutely clear. In order to buy these things you will have to produce a passport, birth certificate or two proofs of identification, and your pickup driver will have to do the same. This is serious business peeps.
