Re: L.A. Times speculates that a NASA center or more could be closed to free up funds...
I guess my question would be.
Would center closures actually be all that good?
I see the redundancies as a good thing as long as they are used and the things that only one center does would require moving equipment that may not make sense to move. Really big windtunnels or large pressure chambers come to mind...
Besides spreading "high tech" the activities might make sense in the aftermath of 9/11...maybe instead of less...more centers need to be formed...
I would think it hard to have congress persons go to bat to cut jobs and state investment in these centers anyway...
