Frank Sietzen has an interview with the NASA Administrator in this month's Aerospace America [note: it's apparently not a permalink--they're playing some games with frames. You'll probably have to dig it out of the table of contents].

It's worth a read if you're interested in space policy. This was the question (and answer) that I found most intriguing.

Q: Do you think the Space Launch Initiative (SLI) is on the right track, or do you want to restructure it?

A: We?ll see.

It's too bad he doesn't seem enthusiastic about going beyond low Earth orbit. He does sound like a capable and thoughtful administrator though.

It's be wise for him to consult with economist and recent Nobel Prize winner, Vernon L. Smith, whose experiment in comodoty trading greatly aided the Cassini mission. The Reason Online Interview of Mr. Smith can be found HERE.
