My favorite excerpt:

The plan
is based on a four-pillar system of goals to ensure NASA investments
optimize the benefits of key stakeholders, other U.S. government
agencies, the private sector and the national economy.

Besides other US Government agencies, the private sector and the
national economy what are the other "key stakeholders" besides NASA?
Should that comma have been a colon? ...

"...to ensure NASA investments are optimized both within NASA and for
the benefit of the other key stakeholders: other U.S. government
agencies, the private sector and the national economy..."

*sigh* the fact that I can improve on Doublespeak is troubling to me....
