I spent two summers in college working as a research assistant at NASA/ Kennedy Space Center. I came out of that experience determined to leave my former field of study for medicine.

The amount of intellectual stagnation at NASA, at least among the civil servant employees (I didn't spend too much time with civilian contractors), is incredible. There's really no motivation to get anything done. All people care about is making up acronyms and other terms that look good on paper in order to hide the fact that nothing is being accomplished.

I very highly doubt that NASA will ever reach the moon again, much less Mars.

Don't place any bets on that just yet. I think this report is going to shake out a lot of problems.
