Fact Checking Sean Duffy

Keith’s note: Everything that comes out under Sean Duffy’s name regarding NASA seemingly has a typo, some odd capitalization, or blatantly incorrect facts. Take this tweet for example: “NASA Acting Administrator Sean Duffy @SecDuffyNASA NISAR is successfully in orbit! The mission is a joint U.S.-India effort, negotiated by President TRUMP. Thanks to his LEADERSHIP & our friends at @ISRO, @NASA is Making Space Great Again!” As a community note clarifies: “The agreement to develop and launch NISAR was signed in September 2014, during the presidency of Barack Obama and under the leadership of Charles Bolden as NASA Administrator.” Meanwhile, to the gist of Duffy’s tweet, isn’t it a little odd to announce punitive tariffs against India on the same day the result of a space partnership is realized?
