  1. What space program? NASA is a corrupt and functionally incompetent clown car fueled by reality deficit disorder, stuffed with feckless crapweasels, disgorging deformed decisions within an abusive hegemony of beige. NASA is administrative soft despotism, the irresistible buoyancy of excrement.

    Asstronaughts within ISS FUBAR subject to X-class solar flares will be (posthumous) national heroes. As NASA faster-cheaper-better illustrated, at best you only get two of three – fix the problem, mourn the dead, get on with the job.

  2. deGrasse Tyson is correct and makes several good points.

    Unfortunately Uncle Al is also correct, even though he overestimates NASA somewhat.

    An ambitious space program would be of great benefit to the country as a whole and ultimately to the economy for the reasons stated by deGrasse Tyson. But to successfully impliment an ambitious space program would take an entirely new agency, even if the name “NASA” were preserved. NASA has been transformed from the competent organization that produced the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs to, in the words of a NASA employee to me, a “make work agency”.

    To implement deGrassee Tyson’s vision of a productive space exploration program one would need to, in effect, burn down NASA and rebuild from the ground up.
