Best bet is for you to send your info to the panel. They're accepting comments and proposals. http://www.nasa.gov/offices/hsf/home/index.html Dan, I was down at the launch, but watched the twitter feed about the meeting.

I'm voicing my hope for the future. I like to aim high and reach higher. Even if I fall short, I'm further than where I started. :-D I hear you, but EVERY day is a fresh start in my world.

Beth, why do you say this? To my knowledge, Charlie has never shown any interest - ever - in NASA reform; or even in space policy. For those of us who have openly called for internal NASA reforms in the past - often suffering consequences as a result - to project a reformist image on someone who - to my knowledge - has never spoken on or worked for NASA reform could be seen as naive by some. ” I welcome your genuine concern for shaping NASA into a nimble and responsive federal agency.”

It truly inspires me that this kind of thinking is still out there and I hope Bolden and Garver do the same. Those of us who do this work for the love of what NASA was, sometimes still is, and what it can be again, need to never loose hope. There are more of us than the naysayers will ever know. I need to get back to work. For at least today, I am once again inspired. Hank I will be printing this letter and hanging it on my wall.
