NASA should be closed down, and the tasks given to the private sector.
when the guys that built the hardware tell you not to launch it and it goes boom, that is a management problem.
when you allow two different measurement systems to be allowed for the design and operation of a probe systems, and then wonder why it crashes.
lets not even go to Hubble.
and what part of ice is hard, shuttle is soft did they not understand.
NASA was not intended to be welfare for the aerospace industry and a bunch of bureaucrat engineers, but that is what it has become.
NASA spends billions like i order lunch, but at least i get an eatable meal in the end. NASA has to go back to congress and say we need another billion to maybe finish the job.
NASA lied on the shuttle and knew it, they are lying on constellation and know it.
i am sorry but since i am at a 62% tax basis i am tired of this nonsense. and now with California taxes expected to rise and cap-n-trade, universal health care. i figure that my tax base will rise to about 75%. yes that means that i will work 9 months out of the year to pay for the taxes. and i make less then 75,000 a year

i am sorry but we have been sending stuff into space for many years. if NASA can't figure out how to do it in a reasonable manor they need to go.
NASA or NASAA
need another seven astronauts again, good people have given their lives to the space program when it should not have happened.
i will not support anything that NASA does until the FBI opens criminal investigations reference the deaths that have occurred due to the gross negligence of NASA supervisors.
