Space agencies keep a firm grip on their public image, and it's less troublesome for employees and contractors to say no to someone like me than to take their chances and see what I write. Happily there are people involved in the human side of space exploration who see value in unconventional coverage{or are just plain too nice to say no}. For their candor and wit - and the generosity with which they shared their time and know-how - super-galactic thanks.
