Hi Folks, yet another question about obscure things...

Fill in the blank:
Abe Silverstein came to NASA and ran the Office of Space Flight ________?

Bonus Points:
At the same time as Abe's Office, what other offices were created?

Thanks much,
Jay Gallentine

I'm going to assume you're asking because you've seen rererence to both names. It seems NASA isn't that much more helpful. If you check their online HQ org charts: http://history.nasa.gov/orgcharts/orgcharts.html

You see that the name went back and forth. Annoying, but not unheard of, at least for the on-paper organizational names. Those org charts also give you an idea of the other offices created at the same level as Silverstein's circa 1958.

Sorry for lack of a definitive answer, but I hope this helps somewhat.

Cheers,

Kevin

These organizational charts are the exact thing I was looking for! Thanks so much.
