You say that you "have little knowledge of the internal workings of NASA"
but
make the assertion that "The scientific talent that NASA has is stifled by
beurocratic [sic] red tape." This sounds like a statement of fact that
could
only be based on "knoweldge of the internal workings of NASA.">>

I will be the first to admit that judgement without complete knowledge can
be dangerous. I apologize for making such a rash statement, perhaps the
wording was not well thought out. I justify my statement by a rule of thumb
that I use. When in doubt, dont let the government get involved. I am a
firm believer that govt agencies are inefficient. Even if a particular
agency is productive at a given time I feel that they inevitably become
detrimental. If you disagree with this I would be happy to continue via
private e mail (no need to clutter the list).
