Those wags over at The Onion tweak the space agency this week, with spoof story on a new exploration initiative: "NASA Announces Plan To Launch $700 Million Into Space."

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
