Chase Million @millionconcepts.com · 17/09/2026What you have been told about other SMD divisions is IMO irrrelevant and IME incorrect. In the meeting, someone from NASA made the same claim about Cassini working this way. That would be shocking news to the Cassini Science Team. 120
Chase Million @millionconcepts.com · 17/09/2026Instruments are selected for timeliness and impact. NASA cannot claim that the science is a priority and then rely entirely on R&A, where thr science _might_ get done on 6 or 10 years or never. And often long after critical institutional and personal knowledge about the mission is gone. 042
