Does Obama Have a Problem At NASA?

Posted by timothy on from the hey-what's-a-few-trillion-in-deficit? dept.

MarkWhittington writes "Has NASA become a problem for the Obama transition? If one believes a recent story in the Orlando Sentinel, the transition team at NASA, led by former NASA Associate Administrator Lori Garver, is running into some bureaucratic obstruction." Specifically, according to this article NASA Administrator Michael Griffin made calls to aerospace industry executives asking them to stonewall if asked about benefits to be gained by canceling the current US efforts to revisit the moon; we mentioned last month that cutting Aries and Orion is apparently an idea under strong consideration by the Obama transition team.

    He can't do that. Peter Griffin has rockets that could be converted into makeshift missiles and used to bombard Washington.

    Then Griffin would declare the US disbanded, replaced by a Galactic Empire with Griffin as Emperor.

    I say give him the cash to keep him quiet. Better that than we all end up slaving in the Uranium mines on Pluto.
