I have never thought of Lori Garver as a snow princess.
Will she be the next administrator, though?
I also have to say that I found this comment disturbing:
Seems highly likely Orion will become ISS only for now.
Let's sincerely hope not. That would be a major blow to commercial services. Better to just end it, and ramp up COTS.
[Afternoon update]
She's married, with kids. Shouldn't she be the Snow Queen (not to be confused with the Ice Queen)?
FWIW, I know Cowing has reported she isn't interested, and I've heard that from someone else as well.
FWIW
She has told me that, too. We'll see...
Re royalty: The king and queen might have a number of children. The eldest will grow up to eventually become a monarch. The younger children will remain princesses and princes, even after they mature, marry, and have children of their own. If Garver is a princess, who is the queen or king?
I think the metaphor leaves a lot to be desired.
