Didn’t NASA have a little problem once? “Challenger,,, Go with throttle up?”

Read Richard Feynman’s book “What do you care what other people think?”. He was on the NASA committee probing the shuttle accident. Great story of the bureacracy and politics. NASA today isnt NASA, circa 1968.

By the time NASA is done, Toyotas will cost $200,000 a copy

BTW, do you think they’ll use English or Metric?

the government has an employee policy known as TAD. It is Temporary Area Duty. As in.....

“He is employed at the department in DC, but is now TAD to Hurlbert to conduct the runway concrete tests”

We now have a situation where General Motors engineers are TAD to Houston to go over all the Toyota internal documents to resolve the acceleration problem. Lacking automotive engineers, NASA requests some TAD from General Motors, the auto manufacturing agency of the Federal Government.
