NASA Still Ambitious
Florida NSS member Jason Rhian had the following letter published in the Tampa Tribune, December 29th, 2004. Reprinted by permission of the author.
NASA Still Ambitious
Nice to see the Trib is blasting NASA again. The Dec. 21 cartoon again shows that those in the media just don't get it. NASA does have a large ambition; you need ambition to go to other worlds. As for its management being too small for the task, well, the Trib hasn't followed the change NASA's been undergoing.
Not long ago NASA did little to help free enterprise in space; it now
encourages it. NASA once dreaded the death of the shuttle; now it views the shuttle as dead weight. A new age is dawning at NASA. The NASA shown in the cartoon was the ``old'' NASA. Now NASA is transforming itself into what it should be. We should celebrate that, not belittle it.
