See this Jim Oberg?

http://www.spacepolicy.org/bios.html

"James Oberg, a veteran of 22 years at NASA's Mission Control center in
Houston, is now a full-time writer and a consultant to ABC News. His
most recent book, Space Power Theory, was released by the U.S. Space
Command in April."

Or this one?

SUBJECT: House Science Committee Hearing on "Mir Safety": Sept. 18, 1997

Testifying: (...) James Oberg, Russian Space consultant

Or this one?

http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=12687

Testimony of James Oberg: Senate Science, Technology, and Space Hearing:
International Space Exploration Program

Or the one listed in the sidebar here as "NBC Space Analyst James
Oberg"?

All the same guy...

Notice the little link on the last one? Takes you to here, where you're
a mere click away from:

"... supporting the Space Shuttle's on-board propulsion systems
(OMS/RCS, or Orbital Maneuvering System and Reaction Control System).
Supported STS-1 launch on console in MCC as the "Prop Consumables"
officer; supported STS-2 as "Prop Consumables" planning lead."

It's common enough to note a question asked of ss.* by Jim to turn up in
a column; some observation of the groups hasn't led anyone else to doubt
he is who he says he is. I'm told he's fairly hard to miss on the TV,
what with that moustache and all.
