I don’t know who you are, but I like the way you think. You are absolutely correct to pin the current problems at NASA on Garver*. It’s not so much that she is so devious (although she is), but that she is flat out incompetent. I’m sure it gauls Bolden to take his marching orders through such an inferior, but as long as Obama and the Democrats in Congress are emboldened to use NASA as a tool of social experimentation and environmental boondoggles, he has no choice. I don’t really expect Bolden to “throw Garver under the bus,” but I’m glad you are pointing out why he should.
* As you noted Gaver was put in place by Obama’s liberal Democrat cronies, so the blame really rests on Obama, even if he didn’t pick her.
Charles got the deal he signed up for. Lori was part of the package. There’s no room for him to go back and complain now. If he did, he’d be at more risk than she would be. Can you say “Administrator Garver”?
Bolden had high hopes once, but he’s sold his inheritance for a mess of pottage. Too late to go back and complain now.
The real problem starts with the boss, and while Garver has had a hand in things, Bolden has, too. At the very least, he didn’t have to stump for something he didn’t believe in—the door was standing right there all the time. He chose not to use it, his only real means of protest.
The letter needs to be written to the voters, not to a man who’s doing the job he was hired to do.
>> NASA can all use so the space agency can move beyond its current malaise to a bright future.
It is sheer lunacy to impede NASA’s sunny future.
