New NASA Administrator Named

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."

Re:Nasa Scared Shitless?

Nice try....

Let's take a poll, see if you can get CNN or another polling lover to run it.

question: Do you think it's time to start launching the shuttles again and just live with the concequence that every time we launch we have a good chance of killing every one onboard again just like last time or even on the launch pad?

Anyone with an IQ over 100 knows that this chance has been there cince day one and has NEVER EVER went away. unfortunately Americans have been led to believe that space missions are as safe as driving down the street to the Safeway or 7-11. they never were safe in any way, shape, or form.

unfortunately politics runs the show not science. and if GW allows them to launch and it blows up, it's GW's fault. What does he care, he's a lame duck, no reelect in sight (THANK GOD!) but his puppeteers care... a GW allowed launch and disaster will guarentee that Democrats will be elected in next time.

Americans do not care that the current administration is killing americans daily in Iraq and abroad.... but kill a few in the skies above us? then they give a damn.

Makes you dusguested to be an american eh?
