Many concerns have met the President’s nominee for NASA Administrator. While his political background deters some, Maxwell Professor Sean O’Keefe writes an op-ed in The Hill on why this may actually be a benefit to the position.

“But if history is any guide, technical skills are not necessarily requisites for success leading this storied agency,” O’Keefe wrote. “While several previous NASA leaders were credentialed or experienced in such disciplines, this was not a clear determinant for success.”
