Thorn made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such
a way as to indicate that:

NASA's failings are
largely because its launch system killed a crew.

If you ignore all of the budget cuts to ISS science over the years,
and continual rescoping of the program. It has been dramatically
mismanaged (as in fact the entire manned space program has). At least
if the goal was to build a useful space station. But of course, that
never was the real goal.
