Good God man!  NASA wants to avoid hitting space debris and a formal
education would be *NICE*.  Has NASA really hit a new low?

What contractor will put uneducated programmers on such a project.  I
*really* want to know.  Please make it easy for me and post the answer. I
want to get the info to my congressman Dave Weldon who is on the space
committee I believe.

Thanks.
