Is the shuttle program trying to tell us something? Are we listening?

As a result of this "leak" thousands of people will get overtime and additional work hours. The "space shuttle" is just a government boondoggle that's been going on for 30 years. This is what you get when the incentives are totally wrong. Cancel NASA. It's just welfare for scientists. The exploration of space is too important to be left to the government.; Like this Reply to this comment
