This is a subject that we'll be devoting much time to in the near future." Look forward to this. “From my perspective, academic policy research can and should be better connected to decision making, and there are alternatives to these two models of interaction.

Enthusiam at the level of non-assistant administrators and lower never existed The Hubble telescope is a good example on both ends and on that somewhat delphic note I will end.

You are of course correct that the shuttle received criticism from its inception. Please have a look at the paper I reference and Rad Byerly's books for a cataloguing of (and participation of) many of the voices that you refer to. There was something very unique about the effort created by Rad Byerly to initiate an independent (of NASA) voice on space policy, and to date there has been nothing similar. Of course, the earth and space science community have run hot and cold on shuttle/station, depending upon how it mapped onto their interests. Eli- Thanks for this comment.

People were saying with reason that the shuttle was a bad choice before it was built and certainly much before 1992. The space and earth science community in NASA were powerless against the astronaut lobby, but they certainly opposed the shuttle program and the space station.
