Before I see NASA getting or deserving any serious increase in their budget, I believe they have to prove they can manage what they already have. That's where this article comes in. If NASA ever hopes to be more than another legacy government bureaucracy like the Rural Electrification Association, they have to prove themselves worthy of additional funding. With the new administrator, they may just have that chance. If they blow it, they won't disappear (when was the last time any big government agency disappeared?) but they're unlikely to ever be more than they are today.
