New NASA administrator Sean O’Keefe (left) recently made his first official visit to JPL and Caltech. Along with JPL director Charles Elachi and Tom Gavin, he toured the lab of Valerie Thomas, JPL’s X2000 avionics electronics manager. O’Keefe later attended an Athenaeum reception with Elachi and three past JPL directors: William Pickering, Bruce Murray, and Ed Stone.
