The best and brightest at NASA are at Goddard space center where all the unmanned probe work is. The ones at Kennedy, not so much.
Then I took a look at the Goddard current mission list, and have to reconsider. Impressive!
I would have thought that Curiosity was run out of JPL, but this page seems to say it's run out of Goddard.
