      Great news. Anyone who is skeptical should listen to his Shawn Ryan interview. For anyone not a SR fan, he at least lets the guest do 95% of the talking so the interviews are very insightful

      But how can President Trump be sure he’s qualified if he’s never made a political donation to a Republican before? Maybe President Trump will make a deal where Jared can be considered qualified if he buys a bunch of Trump Coin cryptocurrency? Otherwise, it’s hard to really think of him as qualified to lead NASA if he isn’t financially supporting the Republican Party.

      Duffy has absolutely no idea what he’s doing so the fact that someone wants to take the load off his shoulders is probably a big factor.

      They’re still gonna gut it. Just a more educated lapdog is going to oversee its destruction.

      Jared proving he is fully in bed with MAGA, and will be an obedient little lap dog as Trump and Musk destroy NASA.

      Duffy has realized that he doesn’t know what he’s doing, cannot achieve success, and will be entirely responsible for all NASA failures as President Trump’s official fall guy. Duffy is competent enough to know he can’t do the job, and the most intelligent person for the job is the guy Trump fired. Issacman is probably the best person to lead NASA right now.

      But he can’t undo the damage from the past eight months. SLS is over. Orion might be over. Lunar Gateway will have to be a true Moon ISS or it will be over. Congress has already gutted NASA’s budget, there is no more money for projects that don’t fly, and SpaceX can at least get into Low Earth Orbit. SLS is not. Despite Trump making a big and very loud mess over the JPL firings in California, MSFC is next. Issacman will transition our space program from Huntsville and Houston to Lompoc and Orlando. Issacman will also be the guy who ends the ISS. The ISS is over and the next NASA Low Earth Orbit mission will just be a government grant program competitive bid out to individual universities.

      Former NASA Admin Griffin won. America now has a lot of low cost launchers with more on the way, Democrats fully support SDI against Russia *and* the technology to make SDI now exists. These are the same technologies that will allow for reliable interstellar probe communications. There are green lights on this road, but NASA will undergo major changes to facilitate it.

      This is great news! Hopefully he gets picked in the end. I’m still not all that hopeful that he will be though.

      Jared Isaacman would really revolutionize NASA into a form that would catapult it into this new era. More space missions to all sorts of places at much cheaper prices.

      People need to stop being so nihilistic on this.

      Edit: Can’t believe I’m being heavily downvoted. NASA really is doomed lol, you people can’t help yourselves. You want it to fail so you can have your own prejudices justified. Try hoping for success instead of being assured of failure.

      Oooof that’s quite a blow. Maybe other countries space agencies can start and pick up the slack.

      My biggest concern is that hes a schill for space x, so theres a chance he’ll have bias on contracts especially for artemis
