LaRC Needs Some Better Acronyms
NASA LaRC Internal Memo: Notes from the Center Leadership Council’s Recent Retreat
“We are counting on our Product Units (PUDs) and their business development managers (BDMs) to identify and pursue opportunities for the Center make even more significant contributions to mission directorate programs and projects in collaboration with the other NASA Centers, government agencies, academia and industry. We are counting on our seven Product Line Leads (PLLs) to identify integrated, systems level, state-of-the-art multidisciplinary solutions to those Agency needs. We are counting on our Core Resource Units (CRUDs) to acquire, develop and nurture the capabilities (skills, facilities and computational tools) required to develop and implement those solutions.”
No synergy?
Universities, National Labs, FFRDCs, Industry,… now one homogenized morass of MBA doublespeak.
They need more Fun with Acronyms

NASA got a seizable entry in the real life section.
