Editor’s note: So far nothing official has emerged regarding possible Administrator replacements for (likely) outgoing Administrator Mike Griffin – other than the usual rumors, gossip, and chatter (which I have tried to avoid promoting on NASA Watch.).

One would think that NASA’s Earth Science work would become much more important than it has been for the past 8 years.
