Does NASA have a plan? Get a few billion $$ more…spend a few more years making little to no progress?
I remember an old joke about a company whose business plan was: (1) Some people have way too much money. (2) Some people will buy any damn thing. (3) There is an overlap between those two groups.
Is there any list of discoveries from ISS that can be commercialized?
No bucks for the cost plus SLS jobs plan. Same argument holding strong since 2007 and Constellation. It is not a republican or democrat problem – it is about politics holding back true progress.
IG says nothing and gets tax payer dollars. What a waste of words and time. NASA has wasted time on reports, org changes, and centralization to DC that it has lost its way and focus. The DOE model should be seriously looked at and not lip service.
