Posters here getting upset about the denigration of GED degrees in general. They are equal to any pursuit of educational opportunities. People work very hard to obtain them as well. I think though, the question asked is a person qualified to head NASA, with an educational level below a doctorate? His college degree appears to be of the online type that most employers would not accept for responsibilities at this level. That coupled with no experience in the field makes this man totally unqualified.
