Steve Cook, MSFC Center Director?

Huntsville Rep. Parker Griffith asks new NASA administrator to select a Marshall Space Flight Center director, Huntsville Times

"U.S. Rep. Parker Griffith, D-Huntsville, has already put in his first request to new NASA Administrator Charles Bolden: Make Robert Lightfoot the official director of Marshall Space Flight Center."

Keith's update: Amazingly, given that Steve Cook was either unaware (very bad) or was aware and suppressed (even worse) this report about possible crew hazards during an Ares-1 abort, Cook and his posse are still trying to position him as the next Center Director of MSFC! He is "the next von braun" after all. Meanwhile, the wagons are circled in Huntsville with the prime topic of conversation being "what do we do about this report?" Hmmm ... Mike Griffin is nearby, why not give him a call?

The next von Braun? Please. My reliable sources tell me that he actually wants to be introduced at meetings as the next "King of Pop."

Not to demean Robert or Steve, but what's really needed at MSFC is a half rabid Rotweiller like Rocco Petrone. I suspect Griffith was put up to this as a last ditch attempt to avoid a thorough centerwide shakedown. Wonder how General Bolden see's things?

Wow....Rocco Petrone; that's a name I haven't heard in years! I understand there are still people who get a nervous tick when they hear his name.

Uh. The Article references Parker Griffith asking the new NASA Administrator to appoint Robert Lightfoot (Acting Center Director) to be permanent seems pretty routine. What has this got to do with Steve Cook?

>Editor's note: Read what I wrote. Clearly Steve Cook is oblivious to what decision makers are thinking.

Keith I read what you wrote.

What you wrote doesn't seem to correlate with what the article says. Are you implying that unlike what the article says Parker Griffith is secretly asking that Steve Cook be made Center Director contrary to what the letter states. And this is bad because Steve Cook is unaware of the USAF abort analysis that you published? Or that Robert Lightfoot is actually the posse?

Overall it seems that this post belongs with the abort analysis piece you posted.

Too many Cooks in the kitchen...

I do hope they get someone in there that takes no BS and isn't afraid to roll some heads when things get "Borked".

If Rocco Petrone is an individual who will lead by example, set and meet deadlines, and punish (yes, I meant punish) people for terrible engineering then I am all for the Rocco show.
