> I am incredibly grateful to President Trump, the Senate and all those who supported me throughout this journey. The past six months have been enlightening and, honestly, a bit thrilling. I have gained a much deeper appreciation for the complexities of government and the weight our political leaders carry.
> It may not always be obvious through the discourse and turbulence, but there are many competent, dedicated people who love this country and care deeply about the mission. That was on full display during my hearing, where leaders on both sides of the aisle made clear they’re willing to fight for the world’s most accomplished space agency.
> The President, NASA and the American people deserve the very best–an Administrator ready to reorganize, rebuild and rally the best and brightest minds to deliver the world-changing headlines NASA was built to create.
> I have not flown my last mission—whatever form that may ultimately take–but I remain incredibly optimistic that humanity’s greatest spacefaring days lie ahead. I’ll always be grateful for this opportunity and cheering on our President and NASA as they lead us on the greatest adventure in human history.
Shame as he was very competent candidate.
There’s talk that this was a repudiation of Musk as Isaacman was picked by Musk in order to push through SpaceEx in a more prominent position. Couple this with the latest leaks about Musk, many of which from the white house, it seems like perhaps the experiment for Musk ended in much worse of a place than anyone could anticipate.
I am fervently against both Trump Administrations but Jim Bridenstein was a solid NASA Administrator. Jared Isaacman might have been okay. He actually had the passion and experience that might help him with the job.
Apparently being capable is no longer a desirable skill for this job. I fear the United States is going to end up with a joke of a space program as Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Obviously part of the musk narrative which is being developed.
They apparently had a few more incompetent bozos at FoxNews who needed new jobs…
What a loser… gets the boot and immediately gets on all fours to lick it.
Just say Trump is a grifter, and you did not want to be part of the con.
