3) An officially mandated return to the management style that allowed
Mercury, Gemini and Apollo to succeed, which will include the
elimination of all the middle-management self-preservation elements of
red tape. Anyone caught trying to play bureacracy bull**** games that
interfere with progress is sent to jail.

This is sort of ironic because despite the idea that NASA had minimal
bureaucracy, it built up a huge one simply to accomplish the Moon landings.
It wasn't a bunch of guys going around just building stuff. When you can
track a part from when it was built, who built it, where it was placed in
storage, what testing it went under, you have to have a bureaucracy.

Not only that, but while many is group worship (theoretical) engineers
and (kneejerk) damm management... Most of the folks they actually
mention by name as being worthy of praise WRT Apollo...

Were managers.
