A complaint has been filed against NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, which sent Galileo to Jupiter and dispatched a ship named Dawn to orbit asteroids Vesta and Ceres, claiming managers there discriminated against and demoted a key project worker because he shared intelligent design videos with co-workers.
The case has been filed by David Coppedge, an information technology specialist and systems administrator on the lab's Cassini mission to Saturn, which has been described as the most ambitious interplanetary exploration ever launched.
"Coppedge was punished even though supervisors admitted never receiving a single complaint regarding his conversations about intelligent design prior to their investigation, and even though other employees were allowed to express diverse ideological opinions, including attacking intelligent design," Luskin said.
"Anyone who thinks that today's culture of science allows an open discussion of evolution is sorely mistaken," said John G. West, associate director of the Center for Science and Culture. "When it comes to intelligent design, private and government-run agencies are suppressing free speech."
Intelligent design is not religion

now-a-days-Ill take a WND article over an MSM (and FOX). Well, almost anyday. When it comes to science and what-not, I think WND does an excelent job. But-I have to say-there are always two sides to a story, we'll have to wait and see if NASA responds. To each his own.
What I really got out of that, other than the FEDS don't like free thinking when they are trying to prove something they already believe-no disention!) if the lighing on Saturn. I just did a post on it-very interesting and I linked the NASA Jet Propultion site there that has a ton of stuff on it-fairly recent.

Why not just leave all possibilities on the table until proven to not be possible?

Yes, as you say it but I guess that would all depend on how he presented it, where he did it (lunch break room or at his desk) and who to.
