Why doesn't Obama get NASA to fix the oil spill and charge it to BP if they're so useless? Surely NASA could fix the leak.

NASA doesn't have either the equipment or the technical expertise to deal with deep water drilling catastrophes.

They could probably manage it, eventually, the way they put a man on the mon. But it might take them years to pull the competency together, develop the processes and procedures and design and implement a plan. That's what happened with the moon shot.

*man on the moon


(Putting a man on the mon would be rather less difficult.)
