Default New Nasa Admistrator-opinions?
I occasionally check the NASAWATCH web sight to see what's really going on at NASA with the shuttle/ISS etc...I get the feeling that people are becoming disillusioned with the new administrator Michael Griffin. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that Keith Cowing is developing a bad opinion of the guy...am I reading too much into it?

Keith Cowing is cranky and highly opinionated. Take everything he says with a grain of salt.

"But about half an hour later, the ground would shake, I'd hear this earsplitting roar from the pad, and then the shuttle would fly off."

Mike Griffin is the best thing NASA has had in 30 yrs. NASA needed a shake up after the Goldin doldrums. Natch, someones sacred cows get tipped.

More like a Twenty-mule team Borax load of salt.
