Bush and also served under President William Jefferson Clinton and George W. Bush . Career Born in New York, New York New York City , Goldin earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from the City College of New York in 1962. He began his career at NASA s Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio that year, and worked on electric propulsion systems for human interplanetary travel. Goldin left NASA a few years later to work at the TRW TRW Space and Technology Group in Redondo Beach, California . During a 25 year career at TRW, Goldin eventually became Vice President and General Manager and led projects that conceptualized and produced advanced communication spacecraft, space technologies, and scientific instruments. When Goldin returned to NASA as administrator, he pioneered the faster, better, cheaper approach that proposed NASA could cut costs while still delivering a wide variety of aerospace programs. The approach ultimately proved controversial with the loss of several Mars landing Spate of failures missions to Mars due to project management failures. During his administration, Goldin supervised projects such as the Mars Pathfinder , Hubble Space Telescope servicing missions, and the International Space Station . ref http history.nasa.gov dan goldin.html ref Goldin initially promoted a low cost manned lunar project, but following the 1996 announcement that evidence had been found of biological activity in Martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001 ALH 84001 , the focus was shifted to unmanned Mars probes.
