NASA Asks Augustine to Point the Way

摘要

This month, Norman Augustine, former CEO of Lockheed Martin, agreed to lead a 90-day review of NASA's human space flight program. The 73-year-old aeronautics engineer has a sterling reputation for providing impartial and useful advice on science policy: In 2005, he chaired a similarly rapid examination of the federal research investment that produced the National Academies' wildly influential Rising Above the Gathering Storm (RAGS) report, and in 1990, he directed a review of the U.S. space program.
