Confusion at the NY Times as to Who the New Administrator is

Editor’s note: Earlier today, the online version of the New York Times posted an article on yesterday’s NASA Administrator confirmation hearing in the U.S. Senate. They included this picture of the “new Adminstrator” – Sean O’Keefe! The picture carried the caption “Sean O’Keefe, the new administrator of NASA, has outlined his goals for the space agency.” The Times has since corrected its error. Oh yes, as several readers have pointed out – the photo was not taken on Capitol Hill, but rather in 2002 during a STS-110 briefing.
