Goldin to Retire from NASA
nervesmiffs writes: "Lots of people hated him. I believe he has been one of the truly
great leaders of our time. He has completely turned NASA around
during his 10 year tenure. Here's the retirement story." So if you were NASA's next director, what would you do with the agency? Men on Mars? Probes on Europa? Trans-warp drives?

Why, would they hire me?
lets fix all our social problems with the moon.
perhaps we can give israel half of the moon, and the palestinians the other half.
then no more land disputes.
plus, if they wanted to terrorize the earth, we'd seem them coming from over 100,000 miles away.
heh

Yeah, we should shut NASA down and give the money we save to welfare recipients...NOT

Earth first! We'll strip-mine the other planets later!
Since NASA headquarters moved into the "rough" part of DC, there have, of course, been stray bullets in the area. One actually made it through someone's window, leaving a nice sized bullet-hole through the middle. The next day there was a sign beside the hole saying, "Goldin's office is on the third floor" or words to that effect...
Overheard by a colleague at a conference.
"are you pissed yet? you should be living on the moon by now."
Hold on there cowboy, I just got broadband in my neighborhood. Listening to those static-filled conversations that astronauts have with Houston Control even a 3Com modem couldn't hold THAT signal.
Faster: The party will only last for 45 minutes.
Cheaper: Keeping with NASA policy, it will only cost 12 million dollars.
Smaller: It will take place in a closet in DC.
Ironic: The party will start off looking very good, but before anything truly cool can happen, it will mysteriously stop.
I already bought the prime real estate. All your base are belong to me.
AC's cheerfully ignored
I think what really needs to happen is we need to finish the IIS...
Man, that's one scary typo when you think about it:)
Someday, you're going to die. Get over it.
