NASA Spends Money On Innovative Talent That It Ignores

Keith’s note: NASA pays lots of money to send the endlessly-talented photographer/videographer Bill Ingalls to Russia – he breaks technology barriers whenever he can – with clear style – yet NASA PAO/NASA Social cannot find a way to link to his live event when he goes to the trouble of offering it? I am truly baffled. I did this sort of thing live from Everest Base Camp back in 2009. Its not easy but its not hard. Now NASA does it – but stumbles upon itself to find out how to tweet a simple web link?

    It is interesting that this comes up immediately after “NASA people like to work at NASA”. I think it is a pretty common problem that because of the poor quality of the NASA managers, many of whom seem to have few qualifications for their own jobs, that many at the working level are underutilized and poorly supported. No matter (apparently), there is so little going on for so many people that no one seems to care-or notice. People are happy with the security of their positions and with their paychecks; whether they perform optimally is secondary.
