NASA has appointed several attorneys to lead its counseling efforts across various centers and facilities. Here's a breakdown of the top legal officers responsible for each hub:
Christine Pham serves as the Chief Counsel at Ames Research Center, providing guidance on the center's numerous research projects.
Brett Swanson takes charge of counsel at Armstrong Flight Research Center, overseeing the center's flight operations and aviation-related activities.
At Glenn Research Center, James Jackson is leading the team as Acting Chief Counsel. His duties involve advising the center on scientific, technical, and regulatory matters.
Dave Barrett serves as Chief Counsel for Goddard Space Flight Center, ensuring compliance with NASA policies and regulations at the center.
Randall Suratt has been appointed Chief Counsel of Johnson Space Center, where he oversees counsel services related to the center's human spaceflight programs.
Alex Vinson is responsible for providing counsel support at Kennedy Space Center, focusing on the center's launch operations and rocket systems.
Andrea Warmbier serves as Chief Counsel at Langley Research Center, handling matters related to the center's research projects in aerodynamics and propulsion.
Pam Bourque is leading the team as Chief Counsel at Marshall Space Flight Center. Her duties involve advising the center on scientific, technical, and policy-related issues.
James Mahoney has been appointed Chief Counsel for NASA Management Office at JPL, where he provides counsel support related to the office's administrative and management functions.
Ron Bald serves in dual roles – as Chief Counsel of both NASA Shared Service Center and NASA Stennis Space Center. His responsibilities encompass advising on a range of matters, including policy, regulations, and technical issues at each location.

I mean seriously though, it's about time they got their act together, all those research projects can't be managed by just a bunch of scientists who are good at science-y stuff 
. but for real, having lawyers on staff is not a bad idea, it's like having a safety net (or in this case, a compliance net) to make sure everything runs smoothly 
and without too many lawsuits 
. btw, have you ever wondered how NASA's HR department handles all the drama that comes with working on super cool projects 
? probably doesn't exist 
. I'm thinkin', it's about time they got some experts on board to make sure everything runs smoothly and according to policy. It's not just about the science, but also about makin' sure everyone follows the rules. I'd love to see how these lawyers work together to make NASA an even more efficient and effective space agency 
... or maybe they're just trying to cover their tracks? Like, what if these attorneys are actually just making sure the agency doesn't get sued for all the crazy stuff they've been doing in space? 
Anyway, I'm kinda skeptical about Ron Bald being in dual roles – does he have some inside scoop on what's really going down? 
just heard about NASA's new attorneys 
Christine Pham at Ames Research Center, Brett Swanson at Armstrong Flight Research Center... it's all so cool 
. And can we talk about Randall Suratt at Johnson Space Center? 
. But what I find most fascinating is how they're all working together to make space travel safer and more efficient 
. Like, can you imagine being one of those lawyers who gets to say 'yes' or 'no' to some crazy scientific experiment? That's a pretty sweet gig 
can't believe NASA is hiring lawyers to lead their counseling efforts... it's like they're acknowledging that even in space research, you need someone to keep everyone in check 
️, but is it really necessary to have so many of them in different centers? I mean, can't one person handle a bunch of different projects and stuff?
. Like, do they need that much time to think things through before making a move? And what about the costs? It seems like there are a lot of salaries being paid out here 
.
