      Because Trump’s primary criteria is loyalty to him and his agenda, and not many great scientists or engineers are MAGA, and none would want to defund themselves

      Difficult to find someone intelligent enough to run a space program who is also dumb enough to swear unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump.

      The answer to the second portion of your title is that the *dumbest* and most corrupt people to ever hold office in this country are currently in charge.

      Because they want to dismantle the government and don’t care about leadership, is the long and short of it

      They haven’t yet found the dumbest, most loyal monkey to intentionally destroy NASA from the inside yet.

      They might not. Remember, in Trump’s first term a lot of positions were indefinitely “acting,” because that way he didn’t have to get Senate approval. Trump’s whole modus operandi is flaunting the laws and norms that have kept the country in one piece for the last hundred years, this is just one example of that.

      Hard to find scientists who are anti-discovery and anti-knowledge like the orange idiot. There is no space if you stop looking at it.

      Well, Hulk Hogan just died so the search for a permanent director has to start over.

      You expect this unprofessional, immature administration to focus on anything except vindictive policies or bills that enrich themselves?!

      Get real.

      I’m honestly just waiting for this administration to disband NASA altogether.

      Such a disgrace. Setting our country back decades, all with one election.

      I’m beginning to think the Trump administration isn’t composed of rocket scientists.

      Y’know, they could have just confirmed Jared Isaacman and called it a day. Maybe he’s a businessman with limited experience in government work, but at least he’d have been smarter than whoever ends up in that slot.

      Facts and Science are literally the antidote of this administration and you wonder why they can’t find an uneducated scientist? XD.

    15. Ever-Wandering on

      Permanent is not in the vocabulary of the current administration. It’s part of their M.O. of using fear. So until we have different leaders, it won’t happen.

    17. Adventurous-Nose-31 on

      NASA will probably be shut down over the next three years, so there is no need for a leader.

      No one who is qualified would want the job.

      Imagine being smart enough, and driven enough, to do this job and then try and tell them to take an ‘L’ until there are new elections….
