First, NASA is not a company.  NASA does have companies that work for it.

I'm the one who has bemoaned NASA/JSC giving up on Ada here in this 
forum.  Where the original poster got his information I would like to 
know.  What branch of NASA is he speaking about?  JSC is just going 
with the flow.  The software managers just know that C++ is trendy and 
their programmers already know it.  There is no trade study or 
rationale reason expressed that I know of.
