CASIS Wants To Take Over Everything NASA Does On ISS - And More

FYI @ISS_CASIS recently gave @JimBridenstine a briefing wherein CASIS proposed becoming an FFRDC that would take over all @NASA activities on ISS, suborbital, and related ground research. This is crazy given that #CASIS can't even do the much smaller task that it currently has.

ICYMI the former @ISS_CASIS Chief Economist has been indicted for multiple reimbursements filed for hookers whose services were procured during @NASA-funded travel. It took a while for #CASIS to notice. Just imagine how closely CASIS monitors the whole ISS utilization thing.

14 people have quit at @iss_casis since Joe Vockley arrived at CASIS. More are job hunting. Vockley wants to get rid of others. Meanwhile his HR person now runs ITAR reviews since the folks who used to do that have left. Is this any way to run a space station, @NASA?

When @ISS_CASIS gets mad at media outlets they drop you from their press release and refuse to respond to requests to be added back. Luckily the idea of re-competing the #CASIS contract is under active discussion at high levels at @NASA HQ. Stay tuned.
