Seeing that norwegian flag on Jannike's suit stirred something deep in my norwegian soul. I'm so proud that a norwegian yet again is at the forefront of polar exploration!
I always had the highest respect for Jared..... Well I'm in shock......the good kinde of shock 🤗😁.....this is unreal......tanks Ellie for informing us ❤ you are awesome 👌 👍
I'm more skeptical. As an example, replacing the DAVINCI and VERITAS missions with cheap cubesats in the name of speed is unwise for exploration. (If you don't know what those two missions are without googling, you don't know what you're talking about)
@imconsequetau5275 NASA and military spacecraft generally cannot offset increases in development cost with commercial business during their missions. Space telescopes and Mars rovers can't be commercialized. While there is likely a very niche set of billionaires interested in paying to fly around the Moon for a week, it's not as steady as demand for crewed flight to LEO. Offering small-scale, fixed-price tech development contracts upfront can reduce the total cost of a mission. But there will still be need for Flagship missions that "do everything without maintenance" in regimes where NASA has rarely operated, if at all. In the case of the ice giants or the lower atmosphere of Venus, NASA has only operated spacecraft there briefly. You cannot get a successful long-duration mission there by relying on fixed-price contracts.
It must be surreal to have had the chance to interview him before even becomig administrator. Another excellent pic! I liked Jim, his former NASA pic... But i am even more excited here! I look forward to the future of American space exploration and colonization!
I am 70 years old. With all that is going on this decade, I'm going to have to live another 70 years to enjoy all of the excitement that is going to come the next four years, plus.
I don't agree with the person that got elected, but I do understand why Elon did what he did. He did say awhile back that SpaceX would never achieve their Mars ambitions while being held back by the FAA. He's exactly where he needs to be, to change the rules and make things happen.
Bill has handled nasty questions against Elon well though, so I give him credit. He just knows politically there would be an impact with direct support of Elon. With this choice, Jared will have some tough choices, one of them is keeping multi-provider access to space or not.

It was Bridenstine who carried the water for Trump in trying to have a Moon landing moved up to before the end of his presumptive second term in 2024. The resulting chaos from rejiggering the timeline made everything more expensive (think more like billions than millions) and greatly set back the critical moonwalk suit project in particular (hundreds of millions wasted there). No reason to think he would be any less of a flack this time around.
