Who Speaks For Space Science?
Astrobiology.com editor Keith Cowing on CNN

Editor’s note: this web reel was just posted by CNN from the end of my interview this morning.
I have just about run out of ways / platforms to wave my arms and talk about what #NASA needs in order to explore the universe.

“NASA needs a permanent administrator who understands rocket science and knows how all this stuff works and is committed to lead the agency through these troubles to, you know, better times. That isn’t happening. And it’s very frustrating to the 17-18,000 civil servants and several hundred thousand contractors and the people of America. Please Mr president send us a real NASA Administrator so we can get on with the whole explore the universe thing.”
