Cheers,

Sorry but this round of Augustine was failure, because they provided something for everyone in the report, so people like Giffords can pull selected quotes,
Constellation program is being well executed

end of story, end of attention span, done committed, move on.

Apparently you are impervious to condescension, because it is the height of condescension. It’s Mark’s little fantasy world. And he can never tell us the names of his imaginary friends in it.

Aside from the typo, I love this label for the online space community. Kudos to coining a term for us space cadets that doesn’t sound condescending.

Yeah, it definitely is a bit of a Rorschach test isn’t it?

The Internet Rocketeer Clib seems to think it condemns the current program, even though it specifically states that it is sound. Certain members of Congress seem to think that it supports the current program, though it does suggest some interesting alternatives.

“While a group of aerospace engineers investigated what the country ought to do, I only care about keeping warm cafeteria seats in my district, so I’m going to ignore the 95% of the report that points out the current approach is an unaffordable waste of time, and just demand that the president wire more money…”

…sigh…
