OMB Deputy Director Will Head NASA

Baldrson writes: "UPI reports "President George W. Bush has selected Sean O'Keefe, Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget, to head NASA." In his prior position, Dr. O'Keefe reviewed and gave testimony before Congress, critical of the budgetary overruns of NASA's International Space Station." (Of course, the ISS isn't all NASA's.)

At last, someone with financial knowledge

[Anton Anatopopov]

In a position of power at NASA. Perhaps now we will see the huge wastes of money come to an end, and maybe some practical benefits (aside from bragging rights) will come out of the space program.

Maybe now we can put disasters like the Hubble distorted lens, and the Mars lander crash behind us, and let NASA get back to what it does best: world class astrological research.

I know some people will disapprove of this guy's bean-counter mentality, but as a taxpayer fed up with seeing my dollars flushed down NASAs ever increasing budget black hole, I am stoked about this appointment.
