Here's Zubrin's take:


Statement of Mars Society President Robert Zubrin on the Selection of Dr. 
Mike Griffin for NASA Administrator

Mike Griffin is a superb choice for NASA Administrator. I have known Mike 
for more than a decade. He is a real leader who is technically brilliant, 
highly creative, open minded to new ideas, well- experienced, and deeply 
committed for many years to the success of the American space program - 
emphatically including the new vision of reaching for human exploration of 
the Moon and Mars.

The Bush administration is to be commended for this inspired selection. 
There is literally no one better qualified to lead the new space initiative 
than Mike Griffin. For the job of 11th NASA Administrator, Mike is the 
right man, in the right place, at the right time. As President of the Mars 
Society, I offer him our full support.
