NASA sickens me. They have disgraced the names of brave astronauts like Gus Grissom. Shut NASA down.
NASA hasn’t done ANYTHING worthwhile since Apollo. The Space “Shuttle” has locked this country into Low Earth orbit for the better part of 20 years. The ISS is NOTHING but a boondoogle!
“Shut NASA down.”
No. Just move NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies weather division over to NOAA. Let NASA focus on space related projects.
Don’t condemn all of NASA because of one nutcase (albeit one with powerful friends in high places).
I would bet that Hansen now has absolutely nothing to do with what we, the public, think of NASA, i.e. “Space Exploration”, although his early work was computer modeling of the atmosphere of Venus.
From Wikipedia:
“The NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), at Columbia University in New York City, is a component laboratory of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Earth-Sun Exploration Division and a unit of The Earth Institute at Columbia University. Current research at GISS emphasizes a broad study of global climate change.”
“A key objective of GISS research is prediction of atmospheric and climate changes in the 21st century. “
Hansen is just another one of those far left, radical kooks from Columbia University... ;-)
Ditto. Shut NASA down.
Yep, NASA has become nothing more than a political arm of the Democrat party and the global socialist movement. The first thing the GOP needs to dois rename it and place it under full control of the military. Make it a black budget item for all I care. Thanks to cretins like Hansen, the NASA we grew up with is dead.
I'm beginning to think that most long-term programs and organizations, government or not, wind up like this. Those who are most politically motivated and often least creative or knowledgeable wind up climbing up into the leadership, and the whole enterprise then is diminished over time. It's kind of like physics and entropy. Maybe the only way to avoid this is by mandating an organizational restructuring, with brand new people in leadership roles, every 15-20 years. I've felt for a long time that it isn't always the cream that rise to the top, but feces floats.
Actually, these guys have even disgraced the name of Werner von Braun. Von Braun may have been a Nazi, but I'm not aware that he ever faked his data.
