New Nasa Leader



Gen. Charles Bolden.

President Obama has elected Gen. Charles Bolden to be Nasa Chief. Bolden is a former astronaunt whom has flown in space four times and sent hubble into orbit in 1990. All his fellow pilots from former missions praise his leadership skills. The change in leadership could effect the way Nasa is moving. Obama has ordered a complete inspection of the Nasa program and Bolden will be involved with this. A shuttle fleet that is suppose to head out to mars is being replaced currently and will not be ready for five years. Many of the big Nasa projects are overbudget. This change in leadership could effect where the empahsis of money and support goes to in the Nasa program. With Bolden having actual experience in the field, I think he will bring a fresh mind and ideads for the program. Hopefully he supports more Mars missions and helps gain the support Nasa needs to complete missions.
