I am sure that Bush is considering *nobody* for NASA administrator right
now.  Space is extremely unimportant to a president, so they don't start
looking at it until later in the transition period.  And because Bush is
getting such a late start, this is probably even worse--he has to rush to
fill essential positions now.

But I'm curious as to who might be considered and why.
