Slashdot has a thread based on a recent AP story about how NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL, is dragging engineers out of retirement and rocket parts out of museum displays to help with current missions: NASA Borrows Ideas From Apollo Program. From the article:

"We're not inventing rocket engines. This is an evolution," NASA associate administrator Scott Horowitz said during a visit to Marshall, which is in charge of developing propulsion systems for the new spacecraft. "You get the benefits of the heritage, but you also get the benefits of new technology to help drive down costs."


The AP article sounds like the low-tech, consumer-friendly version of the NASA knowledge management system FCW wrote about in March (NASA creates knowledge net to prevent repeating mistakes). NASA has a Knowledge Management site, and presentations from a March 2006 NASA conference are available, including one on the MSFC Propulsion Systems Development KM Initiative that the AP article only hints at.

Hello, of course I came to visit your site and thanks for letting me know about it. I just read this post and wanted to say it is full of number one resources. Some I am familiar with. For those who don’t know these other sites they are in for a treat as there is a lot to learn there.
