NASA Internal Sports Sparks Interest Around The World

Editor’s note: I always find it interesting how NASA’s inner political problems interest people around the world – yet raise little interest in publications devoted to covering the agency here in the U.S. Take the Washington Post story “NASA Chief to Oust 20 on Saturday“. In addition to syndication in dozens of small newspapers around the U.S., it also spawned a number of stories around the world. For example:

– NASA chief plans to replace about 20 senior officials in shakeup-report, Kashar News (Pakistan)
– Michael Griffin starts taking hard decisions at NASA, TechWHack (India)
– NASA chief to oust 20: report, ABC Online (Australia)
– NASA chief to oust 20 officials in shakeup-report, Reuters UK
– NASA Chief Will Oust 20 Officials, P2P Reactor (Poland)

Meanwhile, Space.com has posted nothing at all on Adm. Steidle’s departure or the pending involuntary reassignments at NASA this coming week. A curious inverse of the old inside the beltway mindset.
