Based on what I know of federal hiring practices, with only a week-long application window, odds are they already know who has they want for the position... |

Speaking as one who has had experience of trying to unearth information from the NASA archives, I hope that whoever is appointed makes a better job of preserving records of all the many facets of the NASA history than has been done in the past. All too many items from the early days have either been destroyed or gone missing much to one's annoyance when trying to research a particular aspect of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo history. | |
