Comments on: NASA’s looking for a few good people… http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2006/09/23/nasas-looking-for-a-few-good-people/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Sounds to me like 1) someone's cleaning house, or 2) a bunch of people protesting. Sounds to me like a tough job to have. Being told that the Science budget is getting cut to $X and you have to figure out what to get rid of to make the budget work, then having to go eat the flack for making the tough decisions and doing what your boss mandated.

It was hard to find a good one on the web! I'll use it from here on out whenever I'm mocking NASA. I used the worm logo on purpose. It was hard to find a good one on the web!

Why not? ;-) Besides, you're too blunt for NASA and you're not willing to get your nose brown or learn "double-speak". What, Phil, you don’t want to move back to the DC area? Why not? ;-)
