Astronomy and NASA – Rewards and Challenges: Address By NASA Administrator Mike Griffin Before the American Astronomical Society

“My relationship with the scientific community during my time at NASA has been frustrating at times, despite the fact that I think there has not been an Administrator who understands and appreciates, at a relatively deep level, the richness of what you do – not just the astronomers, but all of science. But from my first days at NASA, as with one voice, there has been a single concern – the budget is not what once was promised – and little further discussion has been possible.”
