What evidence leads you to believe that nasa is currently run as efficiently or as innovative as during say the first half of Apollo. Everything I’ve heard from

What evidence leads you to believe that nasa is currently run as efficiently or as innovative as during say the first half of Apollo. Everything I’ve heard from people who worked there is that it’s generally become more and more of nightmare
- mruniverse 9y agoYou ask for evidence, then follow up with "I heard from people..."?
- aeorgnoieang 9y agoPeople telling you things is evidence.
- alexnewman 9y agoActually,that's a good point! People telling me things isn't exactly evidence. I wonder what pure evidence would look like?
- aeorgnoieang 9y agoNo, it is exactly evidence. But, as you seem to be aware, each kind or instance of evidence should be weighed differently, i.e. stronger evidence should sway your beliefs more strongly. People telling you things may not be particularly strong evidence, but you should still probably update your beliefs at least a little.
- alexnewman 9y agoAhh, I am glad you asked. I actually have been lucky enough to work at two small spacecraft companies. I am not an aerospace engineer but I talk to people who are and interact with tons of x-nasa people. Also, my weirdo comments aren't my own.
