NASA Inspector General Under Investigation
pinkUZI writes "Apparently, the FBI is investigating reports of NASA Inspector General Cobb doing a poor job with safety inspections and 'retaliating against whistleblowers.' Complaints have been filed by current and former employees." From the article: "The complaints are being reviewed by the Integrity Committee of the President's Council on Integrity and Efficiency. The complaints describe efforts by Cobb to shut down or ignore investigations on issues such as a malfunctioning self-destruct procedure during a space shuttle launch at the Kennedy Space Center, and the theft of an estimated $1.9 billion worth of data on rocket engines from NASA computers."

So let me get this straight. They are saying a Bush appointee with no relavent experience is doing a poor job? Inconcievable!

In space, chairs are a hell of a lot easier to throw.
I'm not sure about that the shuttles have enough lifting power to take mr Ballmer up there though.
Recently surfaced allegations also suggest that Cobb made personal use of the shuttle.
Unknown host pong.

Apparently, the self-destruct procedure is working quite well for Mr. Cobb.
