      Perhaps we should be grateful they haven’t simply appointed some random MAGA fanatic with no relevant experience! /s

      I remember when this sub was about cool and interesting space studies and discoveries. Not political BS.

      “Who in this Administration isn’t an Elon fan-boy?”

      *Only the CJCS raises his hand*

      It’s worth considering the fact that while Isaacman had a legitimate interest in space, he was an Elon guy. Seems like a military appointee might be more appropriate

      Might as well just fold them into ‘Space Force’ and be done with it. Surely this is too transparent to fool anyone? (That’s a joke, this is America.)

      We’ve seen the Trump cabinet. Talent, skill, experience, common sense, and morals are clearly not going to be requirements for the job. Any generals known for making random comments about committing treason against the United States? There’s your candidate pool.

      He will pick another high school dropout gas station assistant manager that loves trump.  An extreme maga anti-usa republican.

      JFK’s Rice University speech “We Choose to Go to the Moon” had this:

      We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help **decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war**. I do not say the we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that **space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.**

      Apparently this is no longer our priority.

      Why are people spending so much time “worrying” about things that are now definitely going to happen? The time for worrying is over. What is needed now is action and countermeasures.

      Why not make Janet Petro the current acting administrator the permanent administrator? She is already doing the job, might as well make it permanent.

      They might as well appoint Kevin Sorbo. He was the captain of the Andromeda and is now a MAGA “celebrity”.

      These fucking shitstains are destroying EVERYTHING. Fuck every Republican.
