NASA answers some big questions about why it won't buy cost effective, proven rockets.
Wow, seeing those pathetic answers, this is why as an American tax payer, I want NASA shut down. They are an irresponsible welfare system to fund incompetent engineers. I'm so sick of them getting tax dollars and providing us negative return on investment.

Is a bit sad. We've seen 3 pubs close over the last few years. 2 technically not close just converted to another purpose (weatherspoon and Costa)
Some of my happyest days were with friends in the pub
but we grow up and have different responsibilities now. Plus everyone moved to other locations -

Cat stranded for three days on power pole in Phoenix, Arizona leads to nearly a million viewers keeping tabs on the predicament of the cat named Gypsy. Does this make him a pole cat?
Why the hell did it take 3 days. . . before the owner, the neighbors or the fire department do anything?

Phoenix. "Caring about people", or cats, is not something they are known for.

NASA overruns and delays on the James Webb telescope. Now looking like it will exceed their price cap. Making us wonder what a price cap even means, then.

"Moreover, the agency said it no longer could guarantee that the project would live within an $8 billion cost cap imposed by Congress."
It means that the US taxpayers are going to be force to spend more money for something that has taken way to long, and cost over 16 times it's estimation to even get to this point. . .

@dustinb3403 The benefits to future generations will be priceless. Today the federal government is spending ten billion dollars. And tomorrow. And yesterday. 8 billion over two decades is nothing.
