In a speech before the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night, retired astronaut Eileen Collins delivered a sharp rebuke of NASA's recent leadership, endorsing controversial Republican **minee Donald Trump in all but name.*
Collins, who was the first woman to command a NASA space shuttle mission, had been expected to deliver a **npartisan speech (http://mashable.com/2016/07/16/republican-convention-eileen-collins-space/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial), and stopped just shy of issuing a more explicit endorsement.*
However, the speech will be viewed as a clear critique of NASA's leadership under the Obama administration.
