Government entities like NASA are where scientists end up after they can’t find work in industry or academia.

Not so. I worked as a contractor at the Cape for (McDonnell Douglas & Boeing) for 20 years and most of the people I met, especially the management and directors, are very solid and reasonable people. People like Hansen are a disgrace and embarrassment to NASA staff and their contractors.

‘Do the right thing’ is not a joke or or just a mouthed phrase to Cape workers, but a creed in which they take pride. Those workers are fully aware of the lives at stake and of the taxpayers investment. They take their jobs very seriously and the take their failures very much to heart.

99.99% percent are decent, honest, hardworking folk. But then you always get the exception that proves the rule.
Hansen disgraces the efforts of the vast majority.
