GO FEVER IS AGAIN RUNNING THE SHOW

from nasawatch
Reader note: "Hell of a PRCB today. After a nearly 6 hour debate, the
decision was made to fly the ice frost ramps as is. Griffin and Gerst
were even there for this topic. When the final poll was made it was a
nearly perfect 50/50 split on fly as is or stand-down and redesign. The
FCOD rep (Bowersox) said fly as is, by the way. Most of the offices
with the word "Engineering" in their title voted to stand down. It was
good to see the program management have the balls to make a tough
decision. Apparently, John Muratore contacted Griffin either before the
meeting or during the lunch break or perhaps via Blackberry to express
his opinion though, because Griffin mentioned talking to John earlier
in the day. John wanted to stand-down. Mike said fly as is. A truly
fascinating meeting that gave me hope for the SSP management. Hope that
was lost soon after Parsons was installed and I watched him in action."
