  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.

 ASME NEWS Online January 2001 -- Space exploration and bilogy make up inseparable parts of the future
Goldin, the NASA Administrator for seven years, is an advocate of interplanetary space travel who played a major role in establishing the International Space Station and an ongoing series of robotic missions to Mars.
Achieving self-sufficiency, Goldin said, will require producing robots that are capable of assessing their environment and making decisions on how to proceed; creating machines capable of self-diagnosis and self-healing; and designing propulsion methods that achieve a good fraction of the speed of light.
As an example, Goldin pointed to the waste of a computing industry that spends $5 billion to build a chip factory and is facing a future of $50 billion factories, yet, despite a well-known and rapidly approaching physical limit to silicon chip miniaturization, spends only hundreds of millions of dollars researching new computing technologies.

BOSTON, Oct. 31 -- Daniel S. Goldin, the former head of NASA who was just a day from becoming president of Boston University, resigned Friday amid reports of souring relations with the school's trustees and its outgoing chancellor, John R. Silber.
