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."

    In other news, NeroLinux was released for Linux by Nero. I submitted this news but it probably won't be posted, so I thought I may as well give it a mention, since IMO it's more interesting to nerds than this current story.

    I was thinking the same thing. Then I took a look at all the other postings that the author has posted. The odds are that he truely doesn't know any better.
