Article over at Politico: Five Lessons from Apollo for the New Space Age. TLDR version:- "Innovation on demand" works but is unpredictable.
- Incentives matter.
- Rivalry matters.
- NASA is good at development but bad at operations.
- Public cheerleading is overrated.
I don't agree 100% here, especially on item #4, but it is a good quick read with some significant ideas to ponder. No matter the few flaws at the article, learning from past lessons is always cheaper than re-discovering.
