ISS Astronaut Takes A Shot At NASA Culture

Ed Lu: "It's Something That We Have Been Thinking About"

NASA culture problems aren't limited to the space shuttle program. Space Station Science Officer Ed Lu says, the ISS program suffers them as well.

Florida Today quotes Lu as saying the cultural problems will be much harder to fix than the technical problems that challenge the space agency. "I think the things that were technical in nature in the report are in some sense the easiest to fix because it's very clear-cut what you need to do."

Lu wasn't by any means finished. Speaking in an orbit-to-ground interview with reporters at the Johnson Space Center in Houston (TX), Lu said, "The things that are going to be hardest, I think, are the things where you have to change peoples' attitude and their ways of working. When someone has done something a certain way for a long time, it's very difficult to change the way you think, the way you approach a problem and so on."

Lu, a man with some time on his hands, said, "It's something that we have been thinking about. So some of the lessons learned there will apply to our organization."
