(*dc) nasa today

we have a new administrator. he's smart and knowledgeable about exploration. there likely will be even bigger changes in the way NASA is going about implementing the vision for space exploration that has had us in flux for the last year. everyone is huddled in offices and cubicles here, speculating about the future of this thing or that thing, about personnel changes and political appointees, about who is good and who is not. i'm wondering if i might be sent packing. it could happen. we'll just have to wait and see.
