Griffin: NASA Is Not Looking at Ares I Alternatives January 16, 2007
Posted by airspaceone in Uncategorized.add a comment
Editor’s note: This morning, at a breakfast sponsored by the Space Transportation Association, I asked Mike Griffin if NASA was working on any designs or plans for an alternate way to get Orion – and humans into orbit. Specifically, I asked if NASA was working on an alternative to the Ares I. Griffin said, rather emphatically, “No”. Griffin’s answer seems to contradict a variety of supposedly authoritative rumors suggesting that NASA is indeed seeking alternatives. Stay tuned.
Former FEMA Deputy Director Hired at NASA HQ January 16, 2007

Editor’s note: NASA Headquarters has a new political appointee in its employ: Patrick Rhode. He’ll be working on the 9th floor.
For those of you who followed the post-Katrina management fiasco at FEMA you may recall hearing his name. Rhode served as FEMA Director Michael Brown’s Chief of Staff and later, as Acting Deputy Director of FEMA. I am sure the folks at Stennis and Michoud will be thrilled to learn this.
Editor’s update: Patrick Rhode is now listed in NASA’s online phonebook as a “senior advisor” to “Organization: A” (Office of the Administrator)
What follows are a few media excerpts from that time:
