Whoever is, as Dem. FL Senator Nelson put it, “slow-walking” the NASA Admin. should be reassigned to some other role in the Administration.

Scolese is apparently getting high marks. I don’t know why people are surprised by that since he’s a 25 year vet at NASA. Of course he would know what he’s doing just as any of us would after doing it for 25 years. Good for him and good for NASA.

But now it’s the Administration’s turn to show it knows what it’s doing. Fish or cut bait with Mr. Scolese and stop the Kabuki dance that is going on up upon the 9th floor.

(…apparently you’re the last, last, last guest, on WNYC, so I had some time to read…)

To me, the issue is whether this lack of attention is (or even just looks like) an indicator of how seriously the administration is going to take the space program. So maybe it’s just symbolic, but it still bugs me.

(Your radio host just mentioned you coming up, to discuss WHETHER to cancel the space shuttle program. I’m sure you’ll straighten that out. I’m often surprised at how unaware non-space-nuts are, of stuff I consider pretty basic.)

After Michael Griffin’s tenure at the agency an empty chair at the head of the table may be an improvement.
