Keith’s note: Here is the 9:45 pm EST tiny statement on the whole Acting NASA Administrator confusion thing from NASA PAO. It took them 8+ hours to pick these words – words that simply reflect what the White House posted just after noon today. What possible “additional information” they need to get escapes me.: “The Trump Administration has named Janet Petro the acting administrator of NASA, effective Monday. Petro has served as the center director of the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.” “We’ve received multiple questions today about the incoming administration and agency changes. We appreciate your patience as we work to get additional information to you as soon as possible.”
