Dang it. I am really going miss Suffredini. Whenever he was doing a presser, I would be sure to listen to his words extremely closely, because they are worth their weight in gold. I can only hope that Shireman can fill the role as well as Suffredini did. At least Suffredini will now get a decent paycheck for his efforts.
Going to miss Mike. Where's he going? Would be fun to see him run SpaceX commercial Crew and Cargo operations. But then, where does one go after managing an entire Space Station?He was so good during the press conferences and genuinely excited about what the commercial partners were doing and how NASA could better help foster that effort.I wish him all the best.

Technical, but he translated it so well.
I can't believe Mike is going. So much talent is walking out of NASA lately.
Going to miss Mike too.My guess about where he is going: Bigelow.They are hiring and they are building a Space Station.
So, any bets where Mike will turn up after his "Gardening Leave" (non-compete "holiday")?
Thank you for the great article Chris. I’m sorry to see Mike go but I’m sure he left quite an imprint on NASA and the ISS program and set the bar high. Good luck to him on his future endeavors and to Kirk as he takes on his new responsibilities.
