An anonymous reader writes “NASA released part of a controversial study about air traffic safety Monday. The space agency spent $11 million on a survey of airline pilots.

But at an October congressional hearing, NASA administrator Michael Griffin changed tack and said the agency would release

its findings. The research shows that safety problems occur far more often than previously recognized. NASA has been criticized however for not providing ‘documentation on how to use its documents, nor did it supply keys to unlock the cryptic codes used in the dataset.’”
