O'Keefe to Resign as NASA Administrator

Posted by timothy on from the after-a-grand-reign-in-the-tax-dollar-playhouse dept.

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."

    As someone whos name is spelled Shawn, I think that it is a disgrace that anybody who uses "ea" insted of the more logical "haw" can hold high office.

    It's discrepencies like this that make probes crash.

    Condi Rice also had an oil tanker named after her. Great pick as Secretary of State -- really shows where America's priorities lie.
