Yale policy analist Gary Brewer, writing in the aftermath of the Space Shuttle Challenger accident, asked what do CBS, General Motors, The Bank of America, The U.S. Naval Academy, Yale University and the horse cavalry have in common with NASA? In Brewer's view, each of these organizations at some time in its history been a "perfect place" defined as "the best organization human beings could create to accomplish selective goals". NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, had "perfected itself in the reality of Apollo" but by the time of Brewers perceptive analysis he judged that NASA was "no longer a perfect place... [Apollo's] success is past and the lessons from it are obsolete". Brewer suggested that to regain its excellence NASA "needs new ways of thinking". This account describes attempts during the administration of President George H. W. Bush (1989-1993) to force a reluctant NASA to adopt "new ways of thinking".
