The linked article is stilted and brain dead.
It did not discuss the real science at NASA, i.e. the unmanned robotic probes that have been so successful such as the Voyager and Mariner missions and Hubble. There was (and still is) almost no scientific returned from the manned spaceflight missions. Almost all the discoveries and science come from robotic missions.
Yes in spite of that, the unmanned directorate had to (and still does) fight for its life as the manned missions people who run NASA are always trying to steal their funding. That is why Carl Sagan started the Planetary Society; to stop the poaching of funds my the manned spaceflight pork-masters.
That is Boston and its beloved, if cretinous, mayor, Mumble Menino so don't project this city to the whole country. Not every city (except Providence) promotes its barely literate chauffeure driver to Mayor, but we had someone smart in there, they might uncover the dirt.
Mine for what? There is almost nothing there. There are no plate tectonics or much in the way of hydrothermal deposits to concentrate minerals. Forget minerals such as copper or other metals except iron. There is no oil or coal or nitrates. You can have all the sulfur you want if you need sulfuric acid...
A friend of mine worked on Wall Street and said that her firm had a guy at the fed whom they slipped bribes to in exchange for information about the interest rates. Apparently this is widespread.
Why doesn't China open up their mission control to western reporters during their missions? This is same paranoid crap the Soviet Union pulled. I am sure that they would also do the Soviet thing of only announcing their missions only if they were successful, but they cannot get away with it. Time to get out of the dark ages China; enough of this 1984 crap.
Just because you are a foul-mouthed cretin does not make you right. I know that Clinton is a god to you, but he was just another corrupt pol (and rapist also).
From the Washington Post, hardly a leftist org (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/campfin/stories/loral053198.htm):
"Yet early this year, despite expressions of concern from the Justice Department, President Clinton gave the company permission to launch another satellite in China."
No, because you are a shill for China. Why? Ideology? Nationality? Since when has China earned the benefit of the doubt in its actions in Tibet? Let the free press into Tibet and open up the internet in China....
Oh yes they are most definitely assholes about Tibet and they are so paranoid about the free press that they have dopes like oodaloop do their bidding on social media.
This is like saying that the Soviet Union had to take over Poland and Baltic states for their own protection...
Read Seven Years in Tibet to find about the genocide of the Tibetian people....
Like they have for almost all their other space technology....except for the sleazy Loral Systems deal where they paid off US politicians to get the tech.
And played more golf than any other President. Persecuting whistleblowers is hard work.
I love how the state-run media (i.e. all the US media) let's him get away with almost anything.
Slashdot Mirror
So we can find work for more unemployed physicists and engineers...but don't expect it to really work...
Because they get gummy and black with congealed hacker sweat--saw this at Brown where we had these glorious keyboard but they were filthy
Aren't there continuous low-grade wars in 1984 to keep the people scared?
Perfect for the greedy CEOs of tech companies

The next Netscape 6. C++ killed Netscape and will kill this idiotic project
Do the Hollywood moguls really run the country? Of course they do...
For sure. They are watching us.

Thank you!

And we lapped it up....
I wish! It was a great language, but it was killed for political reasons by the C / C++ Nazi's
