Interesting at the NASA town hall meeting to see the undoing of the decade-old merger of the exploration and space ops mission directorates as a “huge indication of the progress we’ve made.”
A theme here is that the split of directorates will provide “focused oversight.” So NASA human exploration and ops programs didn’t have focused oversight before now?
NASA Administrator Nelson emphasizes that this split of the exploration and operations mission directorates doesn’t mean human spaceflight is taking over the agency, citing aeronautics and science projects. “Why would we sacrifice all that?”
NASa Associate Administrator Bob Cabana adds this reorg doesn’t affect the Space Technology Mission Directorate.
Nelson, at the end of the town hall, says 90% of agency civil servants are fully vaccinated for covid. Asks the rest to get vaccinated for others as well as themselves. “Do it for NASA, do it for our country.”
