NASA Culture versus Corporate Culture
Despite all its human flaws, the "NASA culture" has a strong can-do,
will-do attitude that makes it possible for them to achieve what organizations ten times their size cannot. This sets a very bad standard for industry, giving the shareholders and investors a high expectation of their capabilities. Without the shining example of NASA, industry can plod along and people are perfectly content with shoddy products, nominal innovation, high prices, and poor customer support. I would even go so far as to say that the aerospace industry was to blame for the Challenger disaster, not NASA employees. Industry has motive, the employees do not. |

NASA Culture versus Corporate Culture
The objective of industry is to make some bucks.
NASA's is to go to space. Normal that NASA employees are more motivated than industry guys. Money is never a big incentive for people. The joy of discovery, the thrill of the unknown can have much deeper commitements. |
