Settling In at MSFC

So why is it that there were multiple posts about the MSFC director stepping down, but none about DFRCs?

I hope he does stay for a long time. He's not one of the problem people. A good man who belives in space exploration.

Everyday that goes by without a new head of NASA just makes me feel like the Obama Administration does not care about space at all. I feel abandoned by my country. I had a vision of a new America. "Change we can believe in" and "Green Jobs" to me, meant making Colossal Carbon Tubes in the 18 mile long variety, suitable for a stationary space elevator on earth in the next ten years, not decades away. Such an earth based space elevator would cut the cost of space transportation by three orders of magnitude and make sunsats more than economical. I want to drive an electric car powered by wind, the sun, and sunsats. I want to live in a world with a moon base and a mars colony starting now. Guys like General Worden think this is just a fantasy like santa claus. I don't, and who ever heads NASA should still have the dream too. The dream is still alive.

And this dream could end our use of fossil fuels.

Editor's note: do a little historical research before you start all the anti-Obama arm waving. If you do, you will see that the average time to select a new NASA Administrator is months - not weeks - after an inauguration.
