NASA's Expensive Flights -- That Never Reach Orbit

The Government Accountability Office is investigating outgoing NASA administrator Sean O'Keefe. The investigation's focus is waste -- not fraud -- but it involves the misuse of government airplanes for expensive getaways with other NASA folks. Government workers are encouraged to take cheaper commercial flights whenever possible. But a NASA official says Mr O'Keefe would only fly on NASA planes. Mr O'Keefe is leaving the space agency to take a $425,000 a year gig at LSU. (CNN)
