Perhaps it is he and Mr. O’Keefe (among others in NASA) who need to be “pulled from orbit.”

Regardless of the project, NASA needs leaders who will address problems and solve them… not run and hide from tough issues because there might be pressure. With logic such as that of Mr. O’Keefe and Readdy, the world would still be planted firmly on earth, gazing through the haze of an earth-bound telescope.

NASA needs leaders… not managers. There is a job to be done to continue the Hubble work. If they cannot lead the work then get out of the way for someone who can. NASA is no place for someone who runs scared for their job.

I fear that the Hubble controversy is causing such a distraction that NASA will have a difficult time focusing on the new initiative.
