Me too. The NASA of 2010 is nowhere near the NASA of the 1960's. Completely different mindset there now, as has been related to me time and again by a close friend who works on a shuttle refueling team. He was absolutely certain years ago that the Ares and the next moon shot would never get off the ground because of how bureaucratic and PC NASA has become. So many technological advances we enjoy today grew out of the technologies developed for the Apollo and Gemini programs it's ridiculous, but comparatively speaking, the current NASA can barely get out of it's own way because it's so top heavy with bureaucracy. It's a crying shame this country has turned its back on this sort of frontier pushing science, but we have. We'll look back in 30 or 40 years and regret taking the path of least resistance. Of that, I have no doubt.....
