Mike Griffin After Nine Months

The Orlando Sentinel has a great, detailed interview with NASA Administrator Mike Griffen. Being an engineer instead of a bean counter, the differences between he and his predecessor are enormous.

"Armed with six advanced degrees and a vision for sending astronauts back to the moon and on to Mars, Michael Griffin isn’t your average NASA administrator. The space agency’s 11th chief executive sat down with us recently after nine months on the job and waxed eloquent on topics as diverse as foam, Challenger, Mars, the budget, the astronaut corps and intelligent design.
