How many people have come off looking good by suing NASA?

Seems like the Venn Diagram of that includes families of astronauts killed on missions, people who had stuff land on their house, and <checks notes> no, that's about it.




SpaceX sued NASA (or at least complained) and won. NASA wanted to award a contract to Space plane Kistler and this was prevented and the contract competed. This however was the GAO and they already rejected Blue complaint.

SpaceX also sued Air Force and won that too.


Didn't Austrailia sue NASA for littering with skylab?


Sort of. The local government area where the debris landed (Esperance, in Western Australia) fined NASA $400 for littering.


Which NASA stiffed them on.


Is that the 'stuff landing on your house' scenario or are you thinking of a different incident?
