Is the vice president in charge of NASA?

The Vice President is a Chairman for NASA.UPDATE: Not anymore. The Vice-President used to be the chairman of the National Space Council, which had the power to hire and fire top management at NASA and set their budget. But in 1993, the National Space Council was disbanded and merged into the National Science and Technology Council, which no longer has the power to hire and fire top NASA management. (And this new council is chaired by the President, no longer the Vice-President.) Now, the NASA Administrator and Deputy Administrators are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
