If Shelby and Cramer Whine Enough NASA Will Respond

Lunar robotics office staying put, NASA says, Huntsville Times

“Griffin sent Shelby’s office a letter Wednesday saying that the office would remain at Marshall and that several other programs, including a NASA education program and a future space telescope mission, would be included in the budget. Reversing the decision could become a problem for Griffin and his successors, and “it opens up their decisions for further second-guessing,” said Keith Cowing, who runs NASAWatch.com. “It makes a joke of any leadership on Mike Griffin’s part if he makes a decision and then he reverses it because Senator Shelby or (Rep. Bud) Cramer tell him to back off,” Cowing said. “How can NASA administrators actually manage if they constantly have Congress reversing decisions they don’t like?”
