The NASA chief went postal in an e-mail that eventually got into the cyber-mitts of the Orlando Sentinel.
His gripe? The 2010 phase-out of the Space Shuttle.
Problem? Two.
First, its Orion replacement won’t be ready until 2010.
Second, the Russia-Georgia situation likely nixes rides on Soyuz.
That combined means no U.S. astronauts on the International Space Station for a four-year gap.
Actually, there’s three problems. Griffin failed to put blame where blame is due for both problems, his ultimate boss at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., “Mr. Man on Mars” and “Mr. Build a Pipeline Through Georgia.”
