      Yeah, if he could come back to DOT and maybe help restore hiring authority, that’d be great…

      He just wants to create a new MTV Real World show set on the moon that he can star in like the old days.

      I love the tough guy attitude. Everything is tough, tough, tough! We are tough! Look how tough we talk and act! We’re tough!

      What a shit show.

      China is outspending the US by 36x on space. The race is already over when you have science deniers running the institution.

      Ah yes, gutting the agency will get you there…

      The hardest human engineering feat in human history now has less resources to get it done.

      China will have a reactor, a base, and a helium-3 factory before the US has people on the moon.

      It’ll take years to convert everything at NASA from commie-loving metric measurements to God-fearing, capitalist, all-‘Murican inches.

      China will have a city on the moon by then.

      Nothing will drum up interest in more trips to the moon. If private industry or other governments want to go there, fine!

    21. pioniere on

      Well since you’re part of the government shitshow that has destroyed NASA, it seems unlikely you can prevent that from happening. How many astronauts will the budget cuts doom in the attempt?

      How to beat China to the moon:

      1. Claim that the video of China landing is fake news
      2. Post an aggressive all-caps tirade at 4am targeting anyone who claims China landed on the moon
      3. When someone asks when the US will land on the moon, answer with a meandering word-salad in which you claim that the US actually did land on the moon and are there right now but also the moon sucks and we should never go there and it’s actually Biden that’s to blame for everything

      Ok then, how about we stop cutting nasa funding? Or maybe we can get there faster if we fire many of our experienced engineers & scientists, and make others unsure about their job security… yep good plan.

      He also said “Safety is sometimes the enemy of progress”. I want to ask “Whose safety?” Is he volunteering himself for unsafe ops or high risk manned flight?

    28. maobezw on

      This damn ‘everyone fights everyone everywhere’ attitude… Humanity could be so much better and more progressive if nations worked together instead of fighting each other. Instead, there is ‘divide and rule’, as can be seen everywhere…

      Then fund NASA science missions. 

      Space Exploration isnt just rockets and manned missions you morons.

    32. TheDukeofArgyll on

      Cutting funds and torturing your work force will surely lead to better/faster productivity.

      This is what ceos/administrators do. Make grand declarations with no understanding or interest in what it takes to accomplish it.
