“New NASA administrator Michael Griffin seems to have a strong sense of the value, rather than the cost alone, of productive science missions. He is trying, for example, to restore funding for a final repair mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, which otherwise would be abandoned.”
Editor’s note: The author seems to have a narrow view of what is actually happening at NASA. Despite Griffin’s clear interest in science, right now, human exploration is the prime concern of this Administrator. In hearings last week before the House Science Committee Griffin said “… but I cannot responsibly prioritize microbiology and fundamental life science research higher than the need for the United States to have its own strategic access to space.”
