. 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.

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.

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?

Again as usual, Kevin is a little punk with nothing to offer to the thread.
