Such arrogance was profitable, before competitive prizes appeared at NASA to increasingly challenge monopolies and their corresponding intellectual snobishness (timidness). Rather than adapt, though, I suspect you'll become something more akin to extinct. After all, you have handled my ideas so unmasterfully that intellectual agility is most likely NOT in your arsenal. Prizes will liberate us from such mediocrity which would have bilked taxpayers for millions to create stuff like a spacepen if the Russians hadn't shown that a 10 penny pencil works just fine in space. Tax leech.
