- The Tethered Satellite System should be a case that fits NASA's role perfectly
- - a research program in a new field. However, even that program was frought
- with the burden of the "old" NASA. The current program managers probably
- couldn't even name the program managers who were responsible for the original
- design.
-
- Howver, there is a big difference between NASA engaging in basic science, and
- NASA operating a launch system.
