You hit the nail on the head with your comment on the political clout that Ms. Garver has. She might get the job with just that, but there should be a higher standard than just "political clout". I still think that Mike Griffin is the best person for the job, but he's only hurting his case by being arguementative and brash. Mike doesn't realize that he no longer holds the cards, and that a little "kissing up" is in order. While I voted for the incoming president, I am concerned about his vision for space or lack thereof. With his pick of Leon Panetta for CIA chief (a pick that I'm thrilled very pleased with), he has shown that he is willing to place someone at an agency which may or may not be postively received. We need a goal of going to the moon and mars as something to shoot for. I just fear that under the incoming president, that NASA may be in its last days.Bobby Digitalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248331007802317979noreply@blogger.com
