Good to hear that Obama hasn’t completely forgotten about NASA. Maybe if the economy rebounds enough, we can invest more to the Space program.

I’ve been away, and I’m now catching up on blog reading. So I’m breezing through headlines pretty quickly, stopping at the ones that catch my eye. The one before this was to do with Oprah.

And so I first read this headline as “Oprah nominates Bolden to head NASA”.

That most certainly caught my eye, I’ll tell you.

“Here’s a question: Who, in your opinion, was the best administrator of NASA?”

I’d have to go with Webb too I guess.

I only recently found out that Werner Von Braun was NOT a NASA administrator … Otherwise he’d have been my pick. I still say he’s the best person NASA ’s ever had (sort of) in charge.

BTW. Did Obama give any idea about his vision for NASA and space exploration as well or just announce Bolden was the new top honcho?

PS. I too miss the ‘recent comments’ box – any chance of getting that back?

[...] Obama officially announced former astronaut Charles Bolden as his pick for the new NASA Chief Administrator. FINALLY! I’m just glad they now have a clear idea of who’s in charge, and soon will have a clear direction as well. [...]

Also, we could para phrase Cpt Kirk, by saying:

“,,,to BOLDEN go where none have gone, before,,,”

Sorry. I just couldn’t resist,,,

AH, taxes. In the ’80s, the tax law for expats(people working outside the USA) was changed to allow a $75,000 deduction if one remained outside the country for 11 consecutive months, so I guess if we ever have an astronaut stay in orbit for that long, they should get that deduction,,,unless some tax lawyer for the IRS claims that every orbit over the continental USA results in re-entry into US airspace,,,

Tax LAw. Can’t live with it. Can’t kill the auditor.

Without question, James E. Webb.
