"Kevin Brooks" wrote in message om... "Tarver Engineering" wrote in message ... "Kevin Brooks" wrote in message om... "Ed Majden" wrote in message .ca... "Tarver Engineering" . I expect NASA to pay attention to the GAO and the Columbia accident investigation board, while ignoring Rutan and BBC. Indeed, the government should pay close attention to the investigation boards! Running a space program based upon GAO findings would be like asking your local brain surgeon to remove a tumor using a procedure planned by your auto mechanic. The GAO works for Congress, their findings are not just suggestions. Yes they are just suggestions, in reality. No, GAO only investigates at the behest of Congress. snip of insulting little punk rant |

Again, as usual, you are only partly correct. Not at the "behest of Congress" as a a whole. Any swinging Richard in Congress with an axe to grind can request a GAO investigation--and it has happened in exactly that manner quite often. Then a report is published, and the congressman in question gets the canned findings he wants in many cases (recall that "liars figure, and figures lie". The agency in question may or may not accept the findings of the GAO--they have *no* enforcement capability themselves, and unless the congress weenie can swing enough other weenies to his side, or unless is is in a particularly powerful position, there is nothing *he* can do to enforce their findings either. snip of insulting little punk rant But it was only a repetition of some of your finer spoutings, Tarvernaut! Gee, I even left off your theory as to how the Confederacy was the party who did the blockading of the Union during the Civil War, and how you claimed the AC-130 is armed with a recoiless rifle... is that webpage dedicated to the more infamous Tarverisms still out there?
