Well, since I am just a grunt, that is all I talk to.
I figgered. Grunts are, in their opinions, largely unsullied by ego, politics, or fear of reassignment to Guam, right? Burt Rutan is the 'Tucker" of aerospace engineering. (I was into hang-gliding, once, so I know a little about him) I'm cheering him, too. But for management at NASA, the institutional mediocrity is being exposed. Mebbe GW will ask Burt to be a cabinet-level Adviser for Space Exploration, just to make 'em blanch. HAHA
