Why are PMs listed as separate to contractors in the thread title?
I know all they do is create project plans and schedule pointless meetings to sit around eating jaffa cakes, but they are still contractors.

Poor person: "Police!"

The international space station
The Shuttle
The new Shuttle - in development
The Hubble Space telescope
The Large Binocular Telescope
The LHC
The Phoenix Mars Mission
All of these have been achieved in the time since the Mercury and Apollo programmes.
And the next generation will take our species to the edge of the solar system.
We, as a species, are moving at the rate that is unsurpassed in known species development.
Don't believe me, just think how annoying you find it waiting for your TomTom (other satnav systems available) to load up...........grrrrr. Now think about your Commodore 64 and how long that took to load donkey kong.
Now that is progress.....
