New NASA Administrator Named

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the meet-the-new-boss dept.

CheshireCatCO writes "The Bush Administration has nominated Mike Griffin as the new chief administrator of NASA. Griffin currently heads the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University and holds degrees in physics, civil, electrical, and aerospace engineering and aerospace science, as well as an MBA. (How did he ever have time to do anything else?) He was also part of the Strategic Defense Initiative in the 80s."

  1. Good appointment for 3 reasons by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Actually, this is a Very Good idea for three reasons:

    (1) the nominee is Not a Beancounter;
    (2) the nominee is not an astronaut married to the Space Shuttle/Space Station welfare system;
    (3) the nominee knws some science and engineering.
