    It seems they always do... Of course, if they were properly funded and managed, things would be a bit better...

    Trying to run a scientific institute like a full-blown business is folly. NASA needs to sort out what it's really about.

    [QUOTE]Next, the report dis-cusses what needs to be done to operate the Shuttle in the mid-term, 3 to 15 years. Based on NASAʼs history of ignoring external recommendations, or making improvements that atrophy with time, the Board has no confidence that the Space Shuttle can be safely operated for more than a few years based solely on renewed post-accident vigilance.[/QUOTE]

    Unfortunately, they are right.
    I only hope that this spurs NASA on to finally develope a replacement.
