Yes, OK, fine, there is much to dislike about NASA and Shuttle. And Station. And Hubble. Well, I have a soft spot for Hubble - in my head, I hear my Sean avatar saying - but that's because I'm an astronomer. My problem with Easterbrook isn't that his criticisms aren't valid. They are valid. But he's so inaccurate and so virulent and so reactionary that I fervently wish he wasn't trying to help us. With friends like Easterbrook, we don't need enemies. -R -- Every complex, difficult problem has a simple, easy solution - which is wrong.
