Griffin is a technical person.
He must know that the best way to demotivate / drive mad a designer
/ engineer is to change specifications on the fly halfway through
a project, and cut the budget in half.
I thought Griffin was a good choice (over the previous guy, after all
no shuttle is flying now), but with prometheus (nuclear propulsion)
now cut on budget and changed to 'power generating system on moon', this
sort of 'design changes' will kill NASA.
So.. I do not get this, hard to believe really.
These guys need a fixed target, else NOTHING will come out.
Maybe if we tell them God is behind the moon?
Would that help na,.. forget it.
