However, NASA chief Mike Griffin has a one-word answer for those
asking if the agency would keep the shuttle flying after the deadline:
"No."

Then the man is an idiot and should be moved to somewhere his talents
will be fully utilised. Shelf stacking in Walmart seems about right.

The Columbia Accident Investigation Board said "recertify or retire by
2010".

The President of the United States said the Shuttle will be retired in
2010.

There is no money or time to recertify the remaining Shuttles by 2010.

You seriously expect the NASA Administrator to say anything else?
