I think NASA is most excellent at unmanned research missions. Particularly JPL. The Explorer mission to Mars has succeeded beyond anybody's dreams.
That arm of NASA is run by the scientists.
NASA Manned Space, on the other hand, is run by politicians... and needs to be taken out behind the Vehicle Assembly Building and used for target practice.
I could expound on this, but I won't just now. I'm going to go do target practice of my own. :)
But that's my professional opinion, having been a NASA contractor and the son of one and watching things from as close to inside as you can get without having United States Treasury on your paycheck.
