During a visit to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, US Vice President Mike Pence caused a stir online when a photo was posted showing him touching an Orion spacecraft part clearly labeled with a sign reading "DO NOT TOUCH." The titanium forward bay cover was in a clean room, in which equipment is being assembled for a capsule to take humans to deep space. After the photo went viral, Pence apologized to NASA in a tweet, saying he touched the equipment on a dare from Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
