The B612 group has done a poor job of keeping the community (and apparently NASA) informed of their progress and challenges. Perhaps a more transparent effort would work - even showing lack of progress would be progress here. They have indeed struggled with engagement - they only have 600 followers on G+ for example https://plus.google.com/+B612f...
I had a dream about owning hotmail.com once. First I turned it into a porn-by-email site, and when Microsoft complained I turned it into my own email site. Of course because all the sign ups were new people would register boll@hotmail.com and start getting the old Bill's email.
Because creating cheap money for college has worked so well[1] we want to extend the idea to everyone for every thing.
[1] a trillion dollars of debt that is likely to never be repaid - i.e. someone else's money
...than crashing. Well designed systems do not die when running out of memory - they recognize the issue, and either at the general OS level or at the specific Application level, begin shifting the memory requirements to storage. Yes, they run (much) slower - but it gives an opportunity for some system more aware of the big picture than the application (e.e. the operator) to prioritize and recover. As others have alluded to - how did this situation not get found in a proper testing process?
Posting photos of weapons will be come illegal - someone might reason out how to file some metal and make one. Goodbye gun mags.
Followed soon by making it illegal to describe in print how to make a weapon.. because, same thing.
Followed then by making it illegal to mention when a weapon is used, even in self defense - "it just promotes 'bad think'".
Followed by making it illegal to use a weapon in self defense, because - oh wait, hello United Kingdom.
Followed by making it illegal to use the word "weapon" - because ideas are dangerous.
Jellyfish will lead more reasoning lives.
It will be interesting to see the Republican controlled Congress debate military funding for a problem made up for political gain by the Democratic controlled Pentagon.
There is no failure to see here - move (on) along - the websites have brilliantly served their purposes - they've managed to transfer $5 billion so far from taxpayers to the carefully selected chosen ones - who will carefully contribute to the next group of chosen ones.

Isn't that how hotmail works now?
Yes, but it is now intentionally being made *not* available to their two biggest competitors.
"for compatibility"
I don't want their Fire devices just to watch a damn video stream. Compatibility issues my ass.

Boat too small.
The vast majority of people in the US get all they know - about war and everything else - from Hollywood.

So this is what evolution in Kansas looks like - stagnation.

Get the bidding high enough and I'll go fetch them so fresh rocks.
Fixed that for you.

90% of businesses are equivalent to selling scented candles from a strip mall.
It doesn't have to be totally accurate - only humorous to a sufficiently large audience.
I wonder if anyone technically competent and influential has recently left the company...
They always have a choice.
