"NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said goodbye Friday to the space agency's employees, thanking them for their hard work during his four years on the job and urging them to support his successor."
Maybe they could appoint a woman for NASA admin...
Anyway, the agency is for all practical purposes in infrastructure building mode during these crushing financial times. I would pick someone that can sell space and NASA to the public. It's certain there won't be any giant leaps for human space flight onto a celestial body in our solar system in the next couple years.
