I have read about a lot of the innovative Web 2.0 initiatives implemented at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Can you tell me what are the major IT challenges facing HQ NASA (e.g., the impact of American Recovery & Reinvestment Act, the impact of the new Federal CIO (Vivek Kundra, Cyber Security concerns, etc.). Also any insight on who will be the next NASA Administrator (Charels Bolden?). Ms. Cureton,

I beleive the challange is delivering requisite service(s) in a timely manner. I also beleive that taking risk is also a part of the job. If one is truely intent on doing what is needed taking risk will surely be a part of the job. Go for it and the chipps will fall where the chips will fall. The media leads us to the conclusion that the incoming leadership understands the value of Information technologies; however I bleieve that the technology that has been embraced will lead us into new areas with new risk and challanges. I wish you all the best leading a great Agency through the future. Linda
