A Farewell Message from Alan Stern

“As you probably know by now, I have announced my resignation as NASA’s Associate Administrator for SMD and will be departing at the end of this week. Dr. Ed Weiler will assume this post on Monday April 7. I assure you that my decision to resign came only after several months of hard thought and reflection about the consequences of spiraling mission costs that SMD could not control. In the end, this became an important matter of principle that trumped even my boss, NASA Administrator Mike Griffin’s desire for me to stay and my regard for him.”
