The key comment is for the Orion spacecraft to visit the chunk.
The pork-mongers in Houston are building the SLS which has been called the "rocket to nowhere" with no mission in mind. Here is a perfect, though far-fetched, justification of this pork.
Pork is not so bad except for the fact they it steals money for the real science being done at JPL with this unmanned probes. NASA should split so that Houston will quit stealing money from JPL.
We trained hard... but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.
There is nothing worse than having to do the whole Quality Team crapola. This programmer-torture fashion has morphed into a zillion other Process crap that managers love and programmers hate.
UDP has a number of uses. It used to the be the protocol behind SUN's NFS (which was cool in its day), but it can be used now for rapid transmission of small messages because the connection is simple (actually it used to called connectionless).
In New England lots of people try to go to the shore to watch the waves from hurricanes. So much so that the police try to block off access to the shore. But some still sneak through.
You don't really think that the gigantic Utah Data Center was created to store a few thousand phone conversations, do you? Nope. I suspect that the NSA is storing ALL electronic communications such as phone and email from everyone in US. It might examine only a few thousand by hand, but it is all being recorded.
Houston is the lexis of all the Manned-mission PORK. The other congressmen are from states that get Houston contracts or Houston has worked out a deal. This is pure Houston and pure waste all the way. Manned mission cost many orders of magnitude more than unmanned while delivering a tiny fraction of the science of unmanned missions.
What have manned missions accomplished in the last couple of decades? Just about nothing and killed lots of astronauts. Unmanned missions have been highly successful during that time period. Voyager I & II, Cassini, Mars rovers such as Opportunity and Curiosity, etc.
Yes, they want to rob from the highly successful unmanned missions to pay for the Houston manned missions which have been highly unsuccessful if you count astronaut deaths as non successful.
By US House, they mean TEXAS. This is just PORK for Houston and its rocket-to-nowhere--The Space Launch System (SLS). SLS has no mission, but it means money to Houston and therefor they dreamed up this ridiculous objective,
And Houston will do anything to get the money, including poaching from the highly-successful unmanned mission from JPL such as Opportunity and Curiosity.
Slashdot Mirror
when they get there....they obviously do not understand how bad Mars would be...
Anyone remember the end of The French Connection. All the masterminds walked while the chemist served time....
Duh? Isn't this pretty obvious?
Too bad the media bought it hook, line, and sinker. They did not build the huge, Soviet-style Utah Data Center to store meta data...
He famously quipped that he could slap a tax on a galloping horse. You have to feed the vast patronage & pork machine in Mass, after all....

They must have used the Dilbert Mission Statement generator
Will be get a Big Brother to run it? How about Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria or just plain old Stalin?
Re-orgs are done by managers who have nothing better to except twiddle with org charts. I see them all the time is companies that are poorly run.

120F? What an idiotic place for a data center.

Working for this guy. I have and it is torture.
If it is so small, then it would not cost much more to do it domestically. This is a disgrace.
I also loved the the Martin Luther King statue was done in China

Nope! As you approached the speed of light, undesirable things start happening such as increasing mass etc. Basic relativity...

Ha. Voters are idiots; you just watch Nancy Pelosi get re-elected despite her stance on surveillance...

Naw, you do not understand. Back then anyone could quickly create a web page. We definitely do not to allow that anymore....
but instead they did it for the survival of the XBox and even MS itself. They are still wolves but at least they are wearing sheepskins...
