Joel Montalbano Is The New ISS Program Manager
NASA Names Joel Montalbano International Space Station Program Manager
“Kathy Lueders, NASA’s associate administrator for Human Exploration and Operations, has named Joel Montalbano as manager of the International Space Station Program. The appointment was effective June 29 following the June 26 retirement of Kirk Shireman, who held the position since 2015. … Montalbano had served as deputy program manager for NASA’s space station program since 2012, a role in which he shared responsibility with the program manager for day-to-day management, working across organizations and with NASA centers, other government agencies, and partners to ensure seamless and efficient space station integration.”
Congrats (& sympathies) to Joel. Good guy.
The Station! The Station!
You have to be old to get this one….
Unfortunately, being old isn’t sufficient.
Mr. Roarke would be disappointed you weren’t a fan.
Thank you. That was the hint I needed.
?
With a name like Kirk, no “Khaaaaaaan!” jokes?
Are you suggesting that the Cupola will soon be reupholstered in rich Corinthian leather? (you need to be even older for this one)
Why? Was it made by Chrysler?
(sigh) some of us have a longer TV advertisement memory span than do others. 😉
Yes but unfortunately I do understand your comment as well!
Now I get it…but I don’t get it.
Now I do get it. The joke was too moronic for me to catch at first, worthy of schoolyard humor younger than I was when the show aired. Perhaps ST 2 TWoK on TV tonight jolted my brain to follow the misplaced O.
Jokes aside, anybody have any good (bad?) stories about working with our new head of the ISS?
