Bolden vs. Grayson

[Arrowstar]

Saw a portion of this video on SpaceFlightNow, and all I have to say is 'wow'. Its a portion of Gen. Bolden's hearing in front of the House Science Committee.

Man, I used to like Greyson. Probably because I only saw him being a dick to people I didn't like, but apparently he's that way with everybody. His final comparison to faith-based initiatives was pretty silly, NASA runs just about everything through commercial services already.

People should stop crucifying Bolden. The current situation is not his fault - he didn't make the decision to cancel Constellation.

I think he is doing a good job trying to make a positive plan out of what he has to work with.
It would be very easy for him to say “NASA is ruined, I’m not even going to bother”, but he hasn't.

Perhaps the way the new budget was rolled out could have been better, but still, you gotta give the guy some credit for admitting he was wrong about that in the way that he did.
