      Jared Isaacman was a walking conflict of interest and the presidential budget request reprogrammed the ESDMD budget slice to consist entirely of contracts that would be advantageous to SpaceX. Both are now dead in the water, thanks to Elon’s own ego. I consider that a win.

      Don’t ever let the Musk stans convince you they actually care about NASA or the space program: They don’t. They want a SpaceX monopoly. Luckily, if they can’t manage to kill SLS during *this* administration, I don’t see it happening *period.*

      TLDR – Ted wants to cut the science budget in favor of giving his buddy elon contracts to get to mars, when Elon doesn’t even have a craft that can reenter the atmosphere without burning up.
