[QUOTE]Originally posted by Styrofoaman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb] NASA is not less competent today, it just does not have the congressional, presidential or public support of the 60's NASA.[/qb][/QUOTE]The issue here that no one is talking about is NASA internal politics. They fired nine people off the safety review board when they refused to bullshit the safety program. Then they were "concerned that the people with information about the possible damage to Columbia never came forward." Uh, yeah. Been here done this it's called the "Pactiv Way." I was fired off a safety review panel at a company because I refused to sign off on safety-budget reductions. Then I made a judgment call to shut down a line. Managment then overrode me and I had to watch two of my coworkers die. Yeah, prehaps it's a bit off color, but when you start playing political games (FIRST [fill in blank] IN SPACE!!) and putting a price on human life (Too expensive, might limit payload) maybe it is time to scrap the space program. At least untill we outgrow the "Greed Is Good Give Me Penison/Bonus/Stock Options" 1990's mindset. [/QB][/QUOTE]
