Finally, the savior has come that's going to fix all of NASA's problems. More
bureaucracy NASA announced on Monday it has set up a new department focused on analysis of how existing space programs are going and how best to get Americans back to the Moon and eventually to Mars.
The U.S. space agency's Office of Program Analysis and Evaluation has no authority to hire, fire or pay, but it does have the ear of NASA Administrator Michael Griffin, a rocket scientist who has been candid about the need for change.
The office was set up on April 29, two weeks after Griffin was sworn in, but it was publicized on Monday with a telephone briefing with Scott Pace, its new chief.
Yeah, because that's
exactly what NASA needs: More managers that don't do anything. For some reason, this kind of stuff always makes me think of
this joke.
