The number of things that could be used to describe the problems with
NASA is a large one, and there isn't a single one that is the end all
and be all of everything. Having said that I must point out that a
major contributer to NASA's plunge into mediocrity is a lack of
leadership and vision. When we had the world's attention with the
Apollo program, engineers and project managers were making due with
what was available, which wasn't much, and yet they were able to
finally get 3 men up there to actually touch it. This was because
there was a single goal that could be accomplished. Nowadays, NASA is
deluged with thousands of projects and research studies because we are
still unsure as to what the next big step in space travel and
exploration even is. And so right now we are stuck with little more
than the gathering of information of what conditions in space are like
and how it will effect living organisms who are traveling through it.
