Forced resignation of John Aaron

Krueger is only known to a large section of the world for the forced resignation of John Aaron from his role as director of an appendant NASA body blaming him for 500 million in overspending on the Space Station Freedom project which was aborted due to budget restraints. It was considered to be an act of scape goating, as Krueger had no idea of Aaron's history (he was the origin of the astronautical title of 'steely-eyed missile man' for rescuing the Apollo 12 flight from abort, and the Apollo 13 flight from disaster with quick thinking and ingenuity) and arbitrarily ended Aaron's contribution to the space agency at a directorship level losing the agency one of it's greatest minds due to political skullduggery and scape goating. Few non-Texans would know him for anything else, and as Wikipedia isn't just written for American's, let alone just Texan's, I ask the editors of this article to at least reflect this somewhat perhaps? 121.211.33.244 (talk) 01:00, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
