According to Financial Times, NASA is poised to become a management consultant.

That’s right–NASA. You know, the agency that currently has an overrun of five billion dollars and counting on the International Space Station?

Nasa has teamed up with AT Kearney, the international consulting firm, to encourage manufacturers to adopt the sort of project management used for shuttle missions or space walks.

Would those be the Shuttle missions that cost between five hundred million and a billion dollars each?

I’d like to find out who the clients are going to be so I can short them. Maybe I’ll start with some puts on AT Kearney…
