Redirecting NASA
anzha writes "Many people have been sitting and waiting to see what Sean O'Keefe, the new head honcho @NASA, would do with the agency. Would he clean out the temple? Would he simply go through the motions? Spaceref has an interesting article up about what O'Keefe intends for the agency's future. It highlights the changes that are going to happen this year."
But as a rocket scientist I feel most compelled to answer.
O'Keefe, whilst being a highly respectable man, is really not the man for the job. He's an accountant-scientist, more concerned with meeting the budget than pushing for more reasearch money.
How long do we have to wait until NASA becomes as ingenious as they were in the sixties?
Nasa should drop all manned missions!
Robots are cheaper!
Joe Sixpack doesn't even notice when there is a shuttle mission up. Nobody cares anymore.
NASA makes plan ..well i will bribe Europe to send you to venus
Congress shoots it down. I doubt if congress will increase spending in these times, unless NASA assures that mars is made of Gold, Oil and Platinum and they are going to bring it to us.
Another way to get a huge budget is to convince the congress that all the gold will be used for paying their election campaingn costs.
To convince slashdotters simply tell them that all RIAA executives will be sent out of solar system with Gates at the helm.
For the masses all you have to tell them that the whole congress will be sent to pluto.
To the moderators: If you dont mod this up I will bribe that guy to send you all to venus...urm

Be careful. The big thing that gay guys do at the moment is to slip a drug into a guys drink... then take him home. You don't want a big black guy putting his cock in your ass do you?"
I left a dump the size of a horse in the john this morning - that's news that matters because trust me, you don't want to go in there.
