I came to Xerox from NASA Ames only one month ago.  I also worked for
two NASA Contractors (Informatics and Bendix).  I would be happy to fill
anyone in on how to apply for work with NASA.  I can even give you some
names which would help.  I might add that I left the Government.

NASA Ames does have a very big UNIX contingent and its getting bigger,
especially within the Numerical Aerodynamics Simulator Project.  There
was some idle talk about put UNIX on a CRAY.  They thought the better of
it, however.

NASA needs technical people, especially at Ames.  As a Civil Servant, I
think you'll find yourself managing the work of contractors.  You'll
become a project facilitator more than a technical person.  This can be
very rewarding, depending on what you like.
