I'm Confused, Mike
Editor’s note: Mike Griffin states: “However, as we try to meet this challenge, the answer is not for NASA to re-organize or abandon one of its core missions to focus on the other two, as some pundits have recommended be done with our aeronautics research program.”
Then, a few moments later he says: “In restructuring our aeronautics portfolio, we are taking a long- term, strategic approach to our research to ensure that we pursue the cutting-edge of research across the breadth of aeronautics disciplines required to support revolutionary capabilities in both air vehicles and the airspace in which they fly.”
So, let me see if I understand this: it is unacceptable to Mike Griffin to “reorganize” NASA’s aeronautics program – but it is OK to “restructure” the very same program. When you “restructure” something, don’t you need to “reorganize” as part of the process?
I’m confused, Mike.
