That's how long it took Sean O'Keefe, NASA Director, to screw up after the President's moon base initiative was announced. Of all the things that we are using the space shuttle for, only one is worth risking a human life for -- the Hubble telescope. So, in a rush to misjudgement, that's the one thing that they are not going to continue supporting. Everything goes to the ISS, which, once complete, will be scrapped. The technical term for this is "turd-polishing."
Rand Simberg warned that NASA was such a complete mess that without massive changes it would squander its new opportunity. It took two days. NASA has become just another bureaucratic swamp that can't tell spit from Shinola. Bush's plan is a good one, but it won't work until everyone in NASA management is let go. We need folks whose vision extends past the next Congressional hearing.
