The existence of a *rumor* proves this? This is an example of why sci.space
is an inappropriate format for detailed political analysis. Logic that's
considered quite satisfactory in politics doesn't come near the degree of
rigor that's expected for posts to sci.space. (Yes, I know illogic is
sometimes posted here, but it's generally promptly shot down in flaming
ruin.)

Speaking of NASA reorganization rumors, the author of a newspaper article
I read had the impression that Lennard Fisk has been taken off actual
science and put on technology transfer to industry. That's an important
job, and in theory the change is considered a promotion, but to me it seems
like somewhat of a waste of a scientist. A post here indicates that he's
been put on the design or administration of SSF. Any more substantial
rumors available? :-)
