Griffin Tells The NAC A Thing or Two
OPAG, Day 2: Update from the NASA Advisory Committee meetings this week, Planetary Society Blog
“Fran [Bagenal] continued, “Mike Griffin recognized he made a mistake in dismantling the advisory structure before he put the new one in place; with no way to receive advice, mistakes were made. He said [the cuts to] R&A was his mistake. He emphatically said, ‘We are going to the Moon.’ He’s been told we’re going back to the Moon. He was appointed because he wants to go to the Moon. That isn’t going to change. Secondly, it’s clear he wanted to get rid of the ISS [International Space Station] and shuttle as soon as possible, but he can’t, because of international agreements.”
