I read that the NASA is now searching for 8086 chips on ebay, as the supply on the market
has almost disappeared.

 I am inclined to believe there may still be some ground 
 systems for the
 Space Shuttle program that are run on 8080 based machines.2

 I can confirm as a fact that there was at least 1 8086 flying on Columbia
 before Feb 1.
