You do NOT daisy chain the grounds.  The NASA engineer is correct.  There is ONE ground that
the equipment is tied to and NOT to other grounds.  For a picture, look at some of the Bell Systems
drawings about proper grounding.  All grounds in the building go to the SINGLE point ground and
not crossed as Jim wrote.

I was told by a retired NASA radio engineer to avoid daisy-chaining the 
equipment and then running a single run to ground.  He says it is better 
to run separate ground lines from each chassis to a single point ground 
(bonded to the mains as is appropriate).

Does this contradict what you are saying?
