Major General Charles Bolden, Jr. expected to be next NASA Administrator

MSNBC is reporting that President Barack Obama will formally announce on Monday the nomination of retired Major General Charles Bolden as the next Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Bolden retired from the Marine Corps in 2004 and was an astronaut from 1981 to 1994. Bolden's name floated to the top of lists for the post beginning in January, only to be dismissed as rumor. NASAWatch is also reporting this news, citing independent sources.
