NASA does research, it has employees and contractors who, for the most part, do their jobs well. There are successes, there are failures. There are those how are very good at what they do, and there are those that aren't (like anywhere else); however, to blindly dismiss all who work there as morons is to be thumbing your nose at something you don't understand. If you can do the job better, I invite you to go work for NASA, take your pay cut, and show the world how it is done. Those of us who work here do it because we want to make a difference, not because we sit on our butts to get a paycheck.
