The expansion of humans into space to live should be the official goal of NASA. It should be in their mission statement, but their is a blindness to the obvious and it's been that way since it's inception. The conquering or colonization of space is what those astronauts died for, not to study ant colonies in microgravity or float around in LEO in a space station that leads to nowhere.

Thanks for the ping.

As stated in the thread, now is not the time for timidity. But note that Congress is discussing increasing NASA's safety budget as a solution. Additional bureaucracy is not going to solve NASA's problems. Many of NASA's problems are not created by NASA.
