NASA Seeks Help Carrying Cargo Into Space

Dotnaught writes "NASA wants to outsource space missions to the private sector. The government space agency on Tuesday announced the establishment of the Commercial Crew/Cargo Project Office at the Johnson Space Center as part of the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate. The objective is to "create a market environment in which commercial space transportation services are available to Government and private sector customers." Proposals are due February 10, 2006."

Look out below, citizens!

After these private space companies get done offshoring work to some underpaid unsafe work environment-friendly country using cut rate parts made in China, their stuff will start falling out of the sky by the tons. It'll make NASA look saintly in comparison.

And when one of those parts falls on our houses we won't be able to sue for damages because of Bush's new laws regarding lawsuits; and if a lawsuit is allowed, those bought and paid for Federal judges will throw them out.

In unrelated news, housing properties anywhere beneath the flight paths of these private ships will mysteriously plumett in value.
