I love the quoted comments. "Why aren't you setting up another gravy train for us contractors? We don't get enough tax funds as it is."
"Someone investing in a new risky space venture should get a guaranteed revenue to hide the fact that this is risky." Sounds like more "it's not _fair_ BS." My FIL always told his kids something along this line: Fair is a four-letter F-word. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adrian Tymes Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 12:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ERPS] NASA's Centennial Challenges Program To Offer Cash Prizes http://www.space.com/spacenews/businessmonday_040308.html Hmm. $20M just happens to be the second phase of our F.A.S.T. proposal, or the first one doubled (for negotiating down, support costs, et cetera but mainly negotiating down to the true amount they wanted). And the arguments raised sound awfully familiar. _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
