A Very Special Advisor

Editor's note: The Mars Society just finished their convention and added some people to their Steering Committee. There is one curious member who apparently remains in that group:

"The Board of Directors voted to allow for a larger Steering Committee. This list is being modified to add new members, and removing a few. This list was last updated August 14, 2005."

Dr. Mike Griffin - Former NASA Associate Administrator for Exploration (U.S.A)

Editor's update: well, they fixed Griffin's title, but he still remains a member of the steering committee which is formally charged with "the duty of determining the policy, campaigns, and projects of the Mars Society." Its rather odd that a sitting administrator would allow himself to be overtly identified with an organization that lobbies Congress.
