Did you all know that since sizing down NASA has been having things built and conceived outside. I doubt that the frenzy of invention is still in there and that it will ever come back. Your idea of the 'Seven Heaven' (company collusions) is more likely to become norm Steve. It's damn difficult to build things from scratch anymore, you have to rely on an inordinate amount of specialty suppliers. NASA takes more of a science first approach and lets the tinkerers finicky around the details. Its more influential role is to set goals with strict time tables as "We want such invented and built for then, you can start with this bit of information and we think it can be done this way. Good luck."
