Eric Berger discusses the possibilities for NASA administrator. I think that going with Scott would be the conventional choice, which would belie Trump’s stated desire to “drain the swamp,” but then, I’ve never believed any of Trump’s promises. I’m a little disturbed by the fact that Bob Walker seems to be no longer involved. I wonder what happened there?

[Update a few minutes later]

@Rand_Simberg I believe Walker is out because of Pence's purge of lobbyists.

More thoughts from Keith Cowing. TL;DR: He thinks Scott would be a better choice than Bridenstine. FWIW.
