We'd be better served if NASA acted like an investment bank and Congress
gave it the funds necessary to buy the desired end goal with as little
micro-management as possible. That has not been the established paradigm
and is not evident in this work of fiction either.


I've said for decades that we'd all be better served if NASA operated
more like the NACA upon which it was originally modeled, as a
technology development agency that did experimental projects and
helped fund the same by industry.
