Yes, but what about the people in charge of those people? Once they see that some research is more profitable than others, what's stopping them from going to NASA people and demanding more profitable research? At what point does NASA lose its focus in its mission? I'm all in favor of Startup NASA. I'm merely asking for things to be done in a way that doesn't mess with what's being done right already.
