But, you know, when I was nominated,

to lead NASA, you have to do a lot of separation from your business affairs.

My president of that company became CEO.

I'm chairman of the board now, which means

One day a week, a couple of weeks a quarter, I'm really involved.

But the rest of the time, I can be focused on other interests, which this past summer has been the first time since I was a teenager that I had no real professional obligations.

Now it does not.

The business is killing it.
