NASA and Diversity
The United States may lose its leading position in space exploration, if
it fails to replace quickly its ailing shuttle fleet with a new reliable space vehicle, the head of NASA has said. *Michael Griffin, head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, told Congress on Thursday that such a move would not be possible without in turn sacrificing some valuable science programmes.The warning came as the House of Representatives Committee on Science pondered options in the face of the continued grounding of the space shuttle fleet. NASA put an indefinite halt on shuttle launches after a chunk of insulating foam fell off Discovery's large external fuel tank during lift-off last July. NASA is also troubled by a large exodus of experienced engineers and technicians retiring or leaving NASA for other pursuits. * * OPINION- We all know "Diversity" is politically correct terminology for NO HETEROSEXUAL WHITE MALES OVER 40 (You know the people who got us to the moon in 1969) Is Diversity really cloaked Reverse-Racism? * http://www.diversitybusiness.com/Res...Divlists/2005/ * Any connection maybe? * * America's Top Organizations for Multicultural (Anything but White Male) Business Opportunities - 2005 * Rank Top Government Agencies 1 UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (USPS) *2* * National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)* 3 Small Business Administration 4 Minority Business Development Agency 5 Department of Transportation 6 U.S. Navy 7 Department of Defense 8 U.S. Army 9 U.S. Air Force 10 Defense Logistics Agency 11 General Services Administration 12 Department of Veterans Affairs 13 Department of Housing and Urban Development 14 Department of Commerce 15 Department of Justice 16 Agency for International Development 17 Department of Health and Human Services 18 Department of Agriculture 19 Department of Education 20 Department of Energy |
