    Has anyone noticed that NASA really sucks these days? I would say that the most interesting thing they do is have a board room lunch. There is no exploration, there is no experimentation with new ideas, and there is none of the former openness. I'd have to say, that whereas I used support what NASA is doing, I no longer do and have fallen into a habit of badmouthing NASA. I have not got anything against the scientists and engineers, it's the bureaucracy. This recent creation of amino acids is a step into the right direction, but I just do not think it is enough. We will ever see anything interesting out of NASA again.
