Today's NASA Administrator Gossip – Update

Editor’s 30 Jan note: I keep hearing the name Lester Lyles mentioned as a possible choice for NASA Administrator. He was a senior Obama campaign advisor, served on the President’s Commission on U.S. Space Policy, has extensive space experience from his days in the USAF, is participating in the ongoing NAS study “Rationale and Goals of the U.S. Civil Space Program“, and is also a member of the NASA Advisory Council. Unlike Scott Gration, Lyles has obvious space creds. I have always been impressed by him.
This of course could mean absolutely nothing – just idle chatter on a Friday – and what fun is a Friday without some unsubstantiated rumors and gossip, eh?
Caveat emptor.
Editor’s 17 Feb update: Lyles’ name is suddenly making the rounds again here in Washington – this time with much more of an air of certainty.
