Support He is a difficult one to disambiguate, but I actually prefer the proposed qualifier, George Abbey (NASA).
NASA administrator as the qualifier is not appropriate because this not a title George Abbey held and would be misleading. I am fine with JSC director or NASA director, but
WP:NCPDAB suggests trying limit the qualifier to 'a single, recognizable and highly applicable term.' In that sense, though (NASA) is not what George Abbey was, per se, it is much shorter, more recognizable, and representative of George Abbey than a specific job title is (especially when you read the article see that he held many titles with NASA over his ~40 year career).--

The organisation someone worked for is simply not what we use as a disambiguator. He clearly was a NASA administrator (in its generic sense). His specific job title is irrelevant. But if you're uncomfortable with that, how about "NASA official"? --

The class needs to be reevaluated
This article's class is currently related as Start, which is obviously too low a quality rating for its improved state. We need a reviewer to reevaluate this.
That would be a dream project to work on, but there's quite a lot of literature on him and it's kind of tiring to work on, but I'll throw my hat in the ring anyways.

I suggest incorporating more reliable sources into his professional career. The section "U.S. Air Force and Apollo program", has only one source. The "Space Shuttle" and "Johnson Space Center director" sections are slightly better at four sources each.
