NASA Administrator Mike Griffin Hits the Ground Running, SpaceRef

“NASA Administrator Mike Griffin met with the press at NASA Headquarters for the first time on Monday – after only 3 days on the job. The rocket scientist/engineer in Griffin clearly stood out. When he knew something abut a topic – he was straightforward and to the point in his responses. When he did not know enough about a topic to comment, he admitted so, and said that he needed to study up before responding. Engineers like facts. Griffin clearly does not like to speculate at least in public.”
