NPR : A report by astronaut Andrew Thomas on whether NASA is stifling innovation has made its way to YouTube as a satirical fictional case study of an engineer trying to get her ideas taken seriously by senior management. The video is generating a lot of discussion both within NASA and the larger space community.The script mimics a recent discussion within NASA over whether the Ares I rocket is still the right launch vehicle for replacing the space shuttle.
