Disaster changes everything for NASA chief.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Joseph A. Gambardello
It had been a good week for Sean O'Keefe _ until Saturday.
On Monday, the prematurely gray NASA administrator celebrated his 47th birthday and received special greetings from the seven astronauts aboard the space shuttle Columbia.
Then on Thursday, the General Accounting Office applauded NASA for making strides in bringing its budgetary problems under control.
But Saturday, O'Keefe found himself in the hot seat.
Wearing a red polo shirt with the Columbia crew's mission patch over his heart, O'Keefe went on television to tell the nation and the world that the seven astronauts on Columbia were lost when the spacecraft broke up on reentry about 200,000 feet above the Earth's surface.
