[FPSPACE] Surprise

As I mentioned before, NASA Administrators come as a surprise to most analysts.
When I read the headline I thought that perhaps Pete Worden had got the job, but then that's my own bias because of his work with the impact hazard. But this fellow will do quite well, IMO. I like pilots -  they are no BS people, as you're either in the air or in the ground.

I think Scott Hubbard or Donna Shirley have good chances at the science slot, 
but then Obama has the people that he knows and whose judgment he trusts, and he will likely pick from among them.
