Thank you for the post/link.

Sounds like we will have a new NASA Administrator in the coming weeks.

Mike Griffin appears to agree with the greatest strength and greatest weakness of George W. Bush - staying the course no matter what. " “If NASA appears to be wavering by not staying the course … this would cause a loss of public and stakeholder confidence in NASA."

This is NOT the case - changing direction based on a better way, better information, bugetary concerns, etc. is the right thing to do and was a major theme of this last election. Perhaps George W. Bush and Mike Griffin have not heard the old adeage of "I would rather be right than consistent." (an old Winston Churchill maxim).

Too bad.
Here's to hoping that NASA thrives under the Obama administration (w/Griffin or not)!!

Regards, Vince
