It was great to have him stop by and visit our rebel operation. I really enjoyed showing him around. Dan asked a string of very sharp, cogent questions and offered us some valuable advice. He totally gets the value of such things and the importance of history &#8211; and that we have adopted the mantra of <i>&#8220;older-better-cheaper&#8221;<\/i>.  Dan was at Ames as part of the memorial services for the late Baruch &#8220;Barry&#8221; Blumberg. Barry was a mutual friend of ours.  As I mentioned at the memorial ceremony, Barry once told me <i>&#8220;you and Dan are a lot alike. I just wish you two could get along&#8221;<\/i>. Well, after Barry&#8217;s passing, we do.  Barry&#8217;s amazing &#8220;people skills&#8221; continue to work their magic. FYI the tape drive we were standing directly in front of was operating and is rather loud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keith Cowing, LOIRP Co-lead, and former NASA Administrator Dan Goldin during a visit by Goldin to the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP) at Building 596 at NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, CA on 21 June 2011.
