      What causes you to say that? You got my attention, so I looked at his page. I’ve never heard of him and I didn’t read every last bit of the linked page, but he at least seems to be much more actively interested in the space industry that most politicians. I can’t tell from that limited information whether or not I think he’d be a good or bad administrator, but I am puzzled by the emotional tone of your reaction.

        Bridenstine’s policy stances are anti-education, anti-science, anti-diversity, anti-minority, anti-women. A leader who’s premise is to leave people out, to belittle under guise of preaching dogma, is not a leader.

      All names floated so far appear to be climate change deniers, including Griffin, based on a limited search. Some have a history of ‘going with what people feel’ rather than the actual facts, which reminds me of “Enduring Lessons” from shuttle.
      8. In God we trust, all others bring data.
      Hmmm…don’t need facts nor data ==> ?
      4. Defer to Expertise rather than ‘leaders’
      3. Speak up. ==> a 5 yr term can’t solve any rocket issue

      It’s difficult to grasp the concept of a climate change denier at NASA given the weak eco benefits of keystone: The “11.5%” effective tax rate for oil cannot offset its future costs projected at 100B to 1T/yr @ ~ 4ft sea level rise and the military required for increased conflict risk and endangering the world.

      Yes, it’s a bad place to be, seeing somewhat good ideas on space proposed by a potential NASA administrator with such an abhorrent record on other issues, most related to space and science as well. His overall policy stances are anti-science, anti-education, anti-minorities, and anti-women.

      The saying is a clock that’s broken still tells the time right, twice a day.

      We can do better. We must do better.

    He is tough competition? I was thinking of throwing my hat in the ring via the transition job site.

    Actually Robert Walker would likely be better at the job than Bolden has been so far.
