Default Re: OT: Who needs NASA !

Do we need NASA? Answer yes and no. What we need is a less political, back stabbing, cut throat, ego oriented operation and one that is run professionally by people who are not motivated by kick backs, short cuts, or the ill guided mind set that a human life is worthless so long as the mission is completed.

Does that sound like the NASA we want?

Come on, NASA my have flaws, sure some of the people who work there care only about their own ambission, and would gladly scarfice safety to save a buck, but what choice do they have? Their budge has been cut so many times that even the toe warmer industry makes more money in a year than NASA has in its budget.

NASA is the perfect example of "Do more with less." And when something goes wrong, it usually goes wrong big and then the very budget cutters who caused the problem want answers as to why it happened.

In my honest opinion, NASA is a fundamental nessassity and the politics that run NASA are the problem and not the people of NASA.
