NASA Sucks

What is the deal with NASA? I was watching the news and they were talking about another problem they found with the one ship we just sent into space. There is some material sticking out of the underside of the nose. On re-entry this might cause the panel to over heat.
Is it just me or did GEO take over on making all of NASA's equiptment?
NASA does a good job in researching new technologies, but so many things that NASA does is a waste of time and money. They send all of these probes and other dumb shit to Mars, why...cuz they just want some cool red rocks up close. All of which was screwed up because people dont know the difference between metric and english measurements.
How there can be that many mistakes now, when in the past there were more succussful flight beats the hell out of me. If NASA is going to be spending all of this money, they might as well spend a little bit more and make sure they do everything right.
Well it is time for bed cuz I gotta work in the morning.
