O'Keefe to Resign as NASA Administrator
lommer writes "The Globe and Mail is carrying a story that NASA administrator Sean O'Keefe may be set to resign as early as Monday to begin a position as chancellor of Louisiana State University. On the one hand this could mean the indroduction of an administrator with an engineering background (O'Keefe is an MPA), on the other hand can we really expect NASA to effect serious changes and find a focused direction with leadership changes every 4 years?"
An anonymous reader adds a link to this Florida Today article (also carried by Space.com) which says that "the retired director of the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency tops a list of five men that President Bush is considering to take over the space agency."
Dumbass, if you would look at the ads to the right of the search results in your link you might realize that an M.P.A. is a Masters of Public Administration. Seriously, someone put this guy out of his misery.
Well.. the technologies NASA develops have long been used in military applications anyway, but does this mean that the oh so lame "star wars defense system" is back on the books? Well it looks like we can expect a few things from NASA now. 1.) That more tax dollars are going to be wasted in the usual outrageous NASA contract style. & 2.) Bush will probably get some kick backs out of it... or there will be a Haliburton contract involved.
regardless it appears that the idea of peaceful relations atmosphere space as usually had, will be a thing of the past. Hello New World Order eye in the sky part 2, total control. If that chimp in office decides to send some nukes to space then we know were screwed because odds are that it will end up not making it, mmm nuclear bits everywhere... and global warming run amuck.. on the positive side, Bush would have a realllllly hard time denying global warming exists after that stunt.. assuming we lived to see it. Also florida would probably no longer be a problematic election state.
