2005 NASA Grant Recipients Released

[Amanda Morrison]

Funny. I hear these people employed by NASA seem to be pretty darn smart. I'm pretty sure they know what the words 'first' and 'second' mean.

Therefore, I assume they must have some pretty good ideas as to why they gave the teams that they did the money that they did. I know why. Do you? Did you know before you posted? Did you ask anyone?

No offense, but we all know Beatty isn't in need of the money.

At first I was outraged, I mean BEATY is getting a FIRST grant

I have nothing against large, well funded teams, but these grants are for the teams that cant find a way to compete otherwise... to give one to one of, if not THE powerhouse teams in the country is absolutely absurd in my mind.

it makes me frown. So i am hoping this is either a mix up

there's something SERIOUSLY wrong with NASA's selection policy

Well gee shucks golly!
I heard that that 71 team gets a dump truck full of $20 bills every time they get a medal. I heard that team 461 lied on their application and said they were a second year team and those gosh darn silly NASA people didn't check. I heard that Baxter 16 team wanted to cheat a few rookies out of some money. I always did know those 93 Apple folks were a bunch of cheaters.

I also heard that this thread is pretty disrespectful, rude, inconsiderate, misguided, and proves, truly, the outstanding ignorance that abounds on these message boards when a controversial issue comes up.
