Faster, Better, Cheaper
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is a government agency which invents and implements aeronautical, space, and Earth science programs. NASA is currently led by an administrator, Daniel Goldin, who has done a good job leading NASA into the twenty-first century. In the early 1990’s, through Goldin’s leadership, NASA adopted the Faster, Better, Cheaper (FBC) approach to the project management of its space and Earth science missions. The goal was to shorten development times, reduce cost, and increase the scientific return by flying more missions in less time. This goal was driven by politics and funding. Politics play an important part in NASA’s management strategies and has led to many changes in management style. Politics for all intents and purposes started NASA.NASA was formed as a result of Russia’s Sputnik program successes. The official start of NASA was October 1, 1958.

NASA’s first high profile program was Project Mercury, an effort to learn if humans could survive in space, followed by Project Gemini, whi
