A good news is a good news regardless of whoever relays the news. What irks me a bit is that this good news has been reported (or at least intended to be reported) in a way that people would easily mistake the "protagonist" for some research scientist in NASA doing some cutting edge research in rocket science for a space exploration program. But to be truthful, it's not a rocket science for any to figure that the "protagonist " of the subject in case simply works in NASA as a software (IT) contractor whose work is of nature akin to that of an IT consultant in any x, y or z company in the US or elsewhere not just NASA.
