  Daniel Goldin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Daniel Saul Goldin (born July 23, 1940) served as the 9th and longest-tenured Administrator of NASA from April 1, 1992, to November 17, 2001.
Goldin left NASA a few years later to work at the TRW Space and Technology Group in Redondo Beach, California.
When Goldin returned to NASA as administrator, he pioneered the "faster, better, cheaper" approach that enabled NASA to cut costs while still delivering a wide variety of aerospace programs.

 Daniel S. Goldin
When Goldin became Administrator in the spring of 1992, outside observers perceived the Agency to be a bloated bureaucracy pursuing missions that were too expensive, took too long to develop and flew too infrequently.
Goldin also cut the time required to develop Earth- and space-science spacecraft by 40 percent and reduced the cost by two-thirds, while increasing the average number of missions launched per year about four times.
Goldin is a member of the National Academy of Engineers and a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

 Comments by Dan Goldin
Goldin's second concern was the lack of time and money devoted to developing knowledge that will be useful for missions five to 15 years down the road, as opposed to within the next five years.
Goldin also urged that Earth science research, such as the study of the Earth's atmosphere and comparison to the atmospheres of other worlds, be integrated into planetary science.
Goldin thinks with missions like Pathfinder and NEAR we are about one-fourth of the day to his goal of missions that weigh tens of kilograms, cost tens of millions of dollars, and take a year from start to launch.

 BBC News | SCI/TECH | Nasa chief Goldin resigns
Goldin will be remembered for taking the agency into a "faster, better, cheaper" approach to space exploration, for imposing drastic budget cuts and for overseeing the initial assembly of the International Space Station (ISS).
Dan Goldin, 61, took up the position of Nasa chief on 1 April, 1992, and became the agency's longest-serving administrator on 5 March, 2001, surpassing James Fletcher's previous record of nearly nine years achieved across two separate terms.
Analysts said that one of Goldin's major achievements was to cut the time required to develop Earth- and space-science spacecraft by 40%, and reduce the cost by two-thirds, while increasing the average number of missions launched per year by a factor of four.

 NASA Administrator Dan Goldin Sees Bright Future for GA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
NASA administrator Dan Goldin addressed the 1998 AOPA convention in Palm Springs, California on Saturday and had the audience captivated for about one hour describing NASA's vision of the future for personal air transportation.
Throughout that speech, Goldin often ended a sentence with the statement, "you tell me." He promised to come back to the AOPA meeting next year in Atlantic City, New Jersey to finalize the goals, and then to report back annually on the progress made toward those goals by NASA and industry.

 Comments on Dan Goldin's retirement by the readers of NASA Watch.
Dan Goldin is an unreasonable man. He does not stand by his people, he takes the credit when things go right and shifts the blame when they go wrong.
Dan Goldin's resignation can result in one of two outcomes: a.) a new administrator who is unable to clean up the leadership issues as well as operational issues at the agency, or; b.) a new administrator who recognizes that a totally new approach to running NASA is required.
Goldin's tenure for the next 4 years (I agree with another comment that it is interesting that his departure comes immediately before the completion of the Young report).

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 (States News Service) NASA Administrator Dan Goldin said Tuesday the agencys cost-cutting creed may have problems and need tweaking, but said he did not support going back to the old ways of billion-dollar projects.
Goldin suggested that the faster, better, cheaper policy could be modified, depending on the recommendations of a blue ribbon panel he has asked to examine pros and cons.
In particular, Goldin said he would ask the chairman of the panel, who has not been chosen yet, to scrutinize NASAs planetary exploration program, which includes the Mars mission.

I am writing in direct response to a letter which was faxed to our offices from Laurie Boeder, NASA Associate Administrator for Public Affairs (appended), denying our request for continued press accreditation to cover the launch of Mars Pathfinder.
Boeder's actions most ludicrous is our acquisition of a C-SPAN tape of your own statements, made on the identical issue of "the Face on Mars," and just a few days before I was summarily barred from covering the second launch to Mars for making similar comments.
And I think we have to be somewhat sensitive, especially when we're dealing with government money, to recognize some of the issues that the public has [as its priority].

But this is a case of "whatever Silber wants, Silber gets", as he was willing to resign as Chancellor as Goldin wanted (he had already announced he would do this, in fact), but he was not willing to resign from BU's Board of Directors.
