A while back I blogged about the astronaut Story Musgrave and the fact that he as more degrees than a thermometer. Apparently the current head of NASA is in the same league. The following is from Florida Today's "The Flame Trench" blog about space about Michael Griffin, current NASA administrator:
Sometimes when I feel all smart because I'm getting a master's degree in engineering I think about these guys who are much more smarter. It's amazing what some people can accomplish when they cut out TV watching in their lives ;)

A registered engineer in Maryland and California, Griffin holds a bachelors degree in physics, five masters degrees and a PhD. in aerospace engineering. He was the lead author of a textbook on spacecraft design, served as chief engineer and head of exploration at NASA during the early 1990s and also was the deputy for technology at the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization. He's the smartest guy in whatever room he walks into.
