Commented on SpaceX Launch Site Updates
Kind of strange that you think it's good when the McGregor folks see the window rattling tests as "progress" and you see a Vieques launch site as a threat(to your vacation home).... -

Commented on Space Commerce: NASA Changes Its Mind - Again
NASA is doing what it has always done. They can't be fired. They have jobs for life. They are not like us. I'm sure the Russians and the Chinese are laughing about this.... -
Commented on NASA OIG Review of NASA's Selection of Display Locations for the Space Shuttle Orbiters
For all of you who think KSC and Johnson are unworthy of a space shuttle, I think you'd understand how we feel if when your kids left home, they never came back. Ever. The shuttle is part of our community.... -

Commented on NASA KSC's Office Chair Failure Analysis Team In Action
Re: AK If you don't mind the government spending your money on $1000 gold-plated idiot-proof office chairs and multi-year $500K plus ergonomic research studies, failure analyses, and on and on then you have a valid opinion. The thing that you... -
Commented on NASA KSC's Office Chair Failure Analysis Team In Action
You think this is a joke, just wait until you get a visit from the multiple outlet police. Not to mention the screwdriver inspectors.... -

Commented on Craig Steidle Will Head Commercial Spaceflight Federation (Update)
I'm hopeful that this is a good development. So anybody got the skinny on how this came to be? He must have had some friends at HQ that remembered him. Gee, imagine that. Stealth believers at HQ. He must have... -
Commented on Craig Steidle Will Head Commercial Spaceflight Federation (Update)
Yay! Maybe NASAs spiral will change direction. About time.... -
Commented on Congress Grows Tired of NASA's Foot Dragging
Jeremy, Possum is right and no amount of wishful thinking and legislation will alter the current course. Aerowerks might as well start playing the lotto, his chances would be better of getting what he wants. I'd wager he assimilates or... -

Commented on Exploration Park Groundbreaking at KSC
Moon, I think this is the effort by Cabana to ditch the Life Sciences building. He has wanted to move the gate to allow private companies to pay for the hudge white elephant for years. NASA doesn't want/need that building... -

Commented on Congress Rejects NASA's HLV Plans
Sorry, I'm reposting this from an earlier thread in response to Dennis being on a roll: "Anyone want to start an 'open source' heavy lift launcher project?" tinker I thought that was the theme here at NASA WATCH. It's just... -
Commented on NASA to Congress: HLV Will Cost More, Take Longer, Look The Same
"Anyone want to start an 'open source' heavy lift launcher project?" tinker I thought that was the theme here at NASA WATCH. It's just so obvious to many here that the problem is that we have stupid designs generated by... -

Commented on STS-133 Delayed Until February 2011
No1ofconseq, Very astute. Nice to see someone else sees the same trainwreck ahead. It's going to take years to sort this out and after it's "over" everyone will be so jaded that you might as well start over, which is... -
Commented on More Delays for STS-133
Science fiction is a wonderful diversion from reality. Niven can alter the laws of nature in a book. It's exciting and stimulating for those with imagination but it's completely under control and deterministic. NASA has no such medium, it works... -
Commented on Replacing Ares V
I've stated before in this forum that the old timers have told me that the engines that they have managed to recover from the ocean have been completely trashed. They might as well been left on the bottom of the... -
Commented on Replacing Ares V
It's a stall with the usual plausible deniability. One year from now, NASA will have burned a couple more billion while waiting for the political weather to change. Then they will do what they are good at, criticizing somebody else.s... -
Commented on NASA IT Summit Day 2
The previous three comments pretty much sum up the three world views usually present here at NW. Dreamer, elite and advocate. Keith, they just make it up as they go. It's what leadership has degenerated into these days.... -

Holy crap, that gave me chill bumps! Thanks, I forgot I cared.... -
Commented on The Cape Week in Review - Next F9 Launch Announced, Discovery Prepped for STS-133

Commented on Here We Go Again: Do More With Less
Someone, please tell me that this isn't just back to square one with a different target vehicle and no real objective. Not to mention an insanely compressed schedule. Ares I was initially supposed to be shuttle derived. Where was the... -
Commented on White House/ Senate Compromise Reaction
I agree on both your points. The same rot that resulted in the degradation of NASAs real vehicle design capabilities at other centers will have set in at KSC. By the time they have something to launch, ALL of the...
