They seemed to say that the robotic probes, the Hubble and various other
instruments sent up have proven their worth, but the ISS is a $120 billion "white elephant" that has produced an absolute minimum of useful science/data. But most of us realized it. The shocking thing is that it's lifespan may only be for another 10 years, which means there is little time to do anything of value! They also contrasted the cost of space probes from the 1970s to the 2000s and seemed to think that costs for results have dropped. Lastly, they illustrated the fact that Daniel Golden and his faster, cheaper, better (or is it F,B,C??) concept failed at NASA, having more negatives than positives. -Rich |
