A Bad Example of "One NASA"

“NASA In a partnership that exemplifies One NASA, engineers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. teamed up with engineers at NASA’s Johnson and Kennedy Space Centers to design, build, and test five new ExPRESS Logistics Carriers, or ELCs, which will be delivered to the International Space Station. “ExPRESS” stands for Expedite the Processing of Experiments to the Space Station.”
Keith’s note: Ah, but in true One NASA spirit, MSFC is not mentioned – that is because they were left out. Instead of using easily modified, existing hardware at MSFC which could have worked on the ISS truss, NASA decided to spend a lot of money on new hardware at GSFC, much of which will be used on the shuttle only once.
