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.
