Goldin Era: Better or Worse Off
"Pat Flannery" wrote in message
... On the other hand, this system only works if the crew doesn't become so ****ed at him as to jettison him out the airlock during the flight.... but if we were to put both Dan Goldin....and George Abbey....on board- now, that's what I call system redundancy Just take a six-pack along. When the time comes to fill in a whole, just suck some suds, take an EVA, unzip and proceed to fill in the whole. Used beer should fill the hole as well as anything. -- If you have had problems with Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), please contact shredder at bellsouth dot net. There may be a class-action lawsuit in the works. |

Say, you don't think those Space Fireflies WERE really trying to help Glenn with his heat shield problem? Pat |

Goldin Era: Better or Worse Off

I think it says a lot about Goldin that he was hired by a Republican and wasn't fired by the next Democratic administration, or replaced by the following Republican chief. A lot of stuff crashed or burned or crashed and burned during the Goldin Years, but that's much more than was being done in the decade previous. "Faster, Better, Cheaper" in some respects is the same as "Let's do *something*!" Well, we could crash stuff into Mars like nobody's business. You must be thinking of the Russians, who have never had any real success with Mars probes. By contrast, only two of NASA's have crashed *into* Mars: MCO & MPL. (Of course, MO vanished *near* Mars, but even if you did count it you can hardly pin that one on Goldin.) By contrast, Goldin had three successful Mars probes (and hopefully two more if the MERs arrive safely). -- Stephen Souter http://www.edfac.usyd.edu.au/staff/souters/ |
