NASA needs to watch its expenditures better and ditch all the rules and regulations that they have. But this is the problem with every corporation in America too. If we would relieve our Corporations from all these politically correct rules and regulations then we would indeed have less off shoring and outsourcing and if we do the same for NASA, they would be able to get more done on a lot less of a budget.

NASA must continue to propel the forward progress of mankind, but we as taxpayers also need a bigger bang for our buck and therefore we need more efficiency. But if we over burden them with too many rules and regulations to prevent risk then real innovation on any real relevant time scale simply will not take place and thus the future and forward progression of our species will suffer both in the present period and future periods.

Additionally after we un burden NASA of all this political correctness then we must indeed fund them more money. And the more we spend in Research and Development the more we will get out 10-fold in the future advancement of space and science.

If we fail to pony up with these research and development dollars now, then we will all be dead and gone before achieving our dreams and that my friends is unacceptable, so something must be done in the here and now. Consider this in 2006.
