NASA Blues

I'm rooting for NASA yet slapping my forehead all at the same time.



Read the commentary here.

I want NASA to explore. Historically, exploration is born of necessity, and nothing is really pushing us to explore right now. People have explored because of political pressures and personal persecution, but never really for the sake of exploring. Which may be why not much is happening on the NASA front lately.

Or it may be because of poor management. NASA is down low on Obama's list of priorities, and honestly, NASA has failed to prove itself. But is this because of lack of funding? Canceled program after canceled program makes me wonder why all this money is being wasted while our schools are in shambles.

I do believe that science for the sake of science begets valuable technology.

For now I am hoping NASA can get its act together, because I hate to see it go down the drain.
