Gene, after two days and about 50 negative replies, I was going to let this pass. But after reading some of your responses to the comments, it's game on. SpaceX wannabes have been claiming Elon was going to stick Gwynne or Gerst or Kathy Lueders in as NASA Administrator. Now President-elect Trump chooses someone who is already a commercial space CUSTOMER and wants to open the space frontier to all. Jared is not SpaceX's tool. SpaceX has been one of his tools. Do you really think Jared doesn't want OTHER TOOLS as well? Do you really think Jared is just going to send money to SpaceX and not work with Blue, Rocketlab, Axiom, Vast, Astrobotic, IM, Redwire, Planet, Varda, Radian, New Frontier Aerospace, etc... Jared is an entrepreneur. He doesn't believe in monopolies or oligopolies. He believes in competitive free markets. You have zero evidence that he wants to hand Elon more control of the launch market. I totally get that you don't like SpaceX's dominance of the U.S. civil/commercial space marketplace. But that's a result of SpaceX competing and winning, not political favoritism. Guess who else wants there to be more commercial space success stories... Elon! Finally, we've had two politicians in a row at NASA. We've had lots of aerospace engineers and managers. And we've had some great successes, a few bad failures, and a lot of mismanagement. Perhaps it's time to try an entrepreneur. Someone who has had to raise money from friends and family and small investors, instead of just taking it via taxes and appropriations earmarks. Someone who appreciates that every dollar NASA gets actually came from a voter who deserves a return on their money. And, at the same time, someone who absolutely has The Right Stuff.
