Post by: Blackstar on 10/03/2023 02:07 pm: This is more rhetorical than anything (I don't expect anybody here to know) but I find it rather odd that Thomas Zurbuchen presented on CLPS at the IAC. Maybe it was only one slide and maybe he was giving an overview of what he did while at NASA. But he left NASA a year ago, and he gave an interview as he was leaving admitting that CLPS had not gone the way he intended and was significantly behind schedule.
