During the shuttle return to flight effort, we opened up a web site to the public to suggest ways in which we could make the shuttle safer. There was a great outpouring of suggestions. Some of them were duplicates, some of them were not technically feasible, but there were some inputs that stimulated our thinking in new ways that allowed us to come up with more creative ways to ensure the safety of our shuttle crews.
I would like your comments on a different but related subject.
Every Federal agency is preparing information for the new occupants of 1600 Pennsyvania Avenue. Of course this includes a description of recent accomplishments and projects in work. Also in the package are the major issues facing each agency or department and the issues which the new administration will need to address.
I believe it would be useful to hear from you concerning what the major issues are facing NASA for the next administration.
Now, there are a couple of rules. Occasionally there are comments posted to blogs that are . . . less than respectful. In this case, please make your comments respectful. This is not an invitation to personal attacks or a rant. I am looking for respectful and THOUGHTFUL topics which you believe that NASA needs to address.
Finally, this is absolutely non-partisan. I am not interested in political or partisan comments and those will not be posted.
Given those short and brief rules, I am looking forward to your input.
