      At this point China will be the dominant space faring nation on earth

      Edit: spelling

      Well china will certainly be first on the moon now

      Edit: I see everyone bombarding me. So what I mean with “first” is returning to the moon of course.

      I wasn’t a huge fan, but I also wasn’t against him being nominated either. He seemed like someone who wanted the best for NASA even if he was more loyal to SpaceX.

      Isaacman was always a Musk plant – this seems to imply that maybe Musk is actually out out of the administration – and not just reducing his role or visibility.

      Isaacman was a bright spot in an otherwise murky future for SpaceX exploration in a Trump administration. What a shame he got caught up in the outgoing Elon Musk’s dirty departure. it was nice to know you, NASA.

      >One mark against Isaacman is that he had recently donated money to Democrats. He also indicated opposition to some of the White House’s proposed cuts to NASA’s science budget.

      I get that Trump wouldn’t tolerate a donation to a democrat, but a NASA guy that doesn’t want to see cuts to NASA is also disqualifying? Lol what?

      Everyone knew the Trump/Musk bromance wouldn’t last but it didn’t even make it 6 months. Nice work Elon, you played yourself
