Public relations for space flight operations at NASA are extremely important and perhaps you have noticed during the hurricane season how careful NASA is before they launch the space shuttles. NASA knows that they cannot have another disaster or lose another crew of the space shuttle and so they are very careful. They would rather be careful than half a public relations disaster and the loss of billions of dollars of equipment and the loss of life, which can never be replaced.
Most of the astronauts who are picked to fly on the space shuttle are what you might call human plus. In other words they are perfect in nearly every way. They are smart and intelligent, articulate and athletic and our civilization and society stand a lot to gain from them, therefore they are humans that we simply cannot lose or afford to take unnecessary risks with.
Public relations for space flight operations at NASA are therefore handled very carefully and they talk a lot about safety on the television whenever a mission is scrubbed or delayed. This is wise because people want to make sure that our tax dollars are being used wisely and that NASA will not do any thing stupid to kill any astronauts.
The space program is vitally important to the forward progression of the species and as a measuring stick of where our civilization is on its way to the future. Open communication lines with all major media outlets and a very well thought out strategic public relations program is paramount to NASA. Please consider all this in 2006.
