I was just at Seth Godin’s Talk, and somehow the topic of NASA came up. Seth mentioned that if he were to suggest one thing for NASA, it would be to remove the Shuttle program. He said that the Shuttle program we know is unsafe, costly, and has issues. He suggested that were they to get rid of it, it would create an emergency situation, and the Government and NASA would be forced to enter “A Dip”, and come up with something way better. I think I have to agree with him on this one.

BTW, if anyone is interested in a free copy of the Dip, write me a story of why you want it, what you would do for it, etc. and I’ll post the best stories here and give the best their own free copy.

  • Tristan,



    I grew up in Houston, and have very high regards for NASA. They have actually had several designs to replace the shuttle, but for some reason the shuttle just keeps on going, keeping the new designs from coming forth. My point is, were the Government and NASA to scrap the shuttle program, it would force them to either move to one of these other plans, or re-evaluate the purpose of the space program. I also think you would see more private companies step up. I think the shuttle program is slowing down those processes.

    The Dip sounds like a book for quitters.
    If we were to hold those standards then what would we achieve?
